I’m very tech-forward. However, I also think hitting the pause button is not a bad thing, and really connecting with people one-to-one viscerally, having a connection with someone, is really important.
Ultimately there’s a dirty secret about the Internet, which is nothing disappears. All these companies have all your information. They have your search history.
Your shoes have to match your belt. That’s rule number one for guys. You can’t put the brown shoes with the black belt. Or a brown belt with a black wristwatch. Just don’t do it! Also, I don’t like boots with suits. And when you wear sneakers, make sure they go with your shirt.
Entertainment, really, is a dying industry.
There is some argument about who actually invented text messaging, but I think it’s safe to say it was a man. Multiple studies have shown that the average man uses about half as many words per day as women, thus text messaging. It eliminates hellos and goodbyes and cuts right to the chase.
The power of a handwritten letter is greater than ever. It’s personal and deliberate and means more than an e-mail or text ever will. It has a unique scent. It requires deciphering. But, most important, it’s flawed.
Romance is sort of an island right next to care. When you care about someone and you listen to them and you hear them and you can feel them and you know just what’s right, and generally it’s something that will be very unimpressive to a room of strangers.
I learned what a Birkin bag is from the price tag. You’ll never forget what it is once you’ve paid for one.
I love efficiencies and I love solving big problems, and I love working with people who create efficiencies. I love creating efficiencies in my own life on a day-to-day basis.
All the really successful, happy relationships that I know of, the people that are together are friends, anyways.
I gave up smoking, I never gave up the drinking. But it’s hard to smoke and swim at the same time. You’d get to the edge of the pool and all you’d be wanting is a cigarette when all you actually really want is oxygen. So I traded the smoke for the oxygen.
I think love is one of the most elusive things in the world. I don’t know that there’s a perfect formula for it and that’s what makes the stories interesting.
My teacher says that everything that you want in the world is one step away, you just have to figure out which direction to step in.
I’m serious when I’m talking to the press because I’m always on guard because I never know what you’re going to ask and I never know how you’re going to construe my answer, so I try to maintain a pretty even pace when I’m speaking with the media.
I think directing yourself is a monumental task. Just to self edit as an actor, you work for some directors who don’t give you a lot of feedback so you have to do that. That’s a difficult thing to do as an actor.
From a purely entertainment point of view, to create a movie with a female lead that is empowered with her own sexuality I think is a really powerful thing.
As an actor, I know that any feelings you’re showing are manufactured. But I still don’t want to fool my mind into thinking my wife’s into another guy.
I think you’re sort of always waiting, wondering when the word “cut” is going to be said when you’re doing a scene. Like you’re there and you’re doing the scene and you’re always sort of like, “OK, are they going to cut it? How far are we taking this, or are they going to cold cut?”
If you believe the good stuff that people say then you have to believe the bad stuff and then you allow yourself to be on a roller coaster of what other people think. So I think you try to find the good in the bad and the bad in the good and balance yourself and stay on an even keel.
I love life, I love people and I love sharing, so I would say that I’m romantic.
Luck looks a lot like work.
