My whole family are hams. They’re storytellers and everyone outdoes the next one.
I like to be directed, but when I’m flying and I’m on fire, I don’t want someone coming and getting in my way just because they feel like they need to.
The first step that leads to our identity in life is usually not ‘I know who I am,’ but rather ‘I know who I am not.’
Having children has helped me become a better actor because they remind you to play make believe. It’s the ease and naturalness of their beings. They just play and it’s completely real for them at the time. As an actor, if we do it well, we make you believe.
I don’t know how to work a room. It’s a real skill.
Vanity is great motivation, to be fair.
I believe in living in the present and making each day count. I don’t pay much attention to the past or the future.

I get it. You have the right to have guns. But look, let’s forget that right. Let’s forget the pleasure you get safely on your range, because it’s in the wrong hands in other places.
I’m not arrogant enough to look back on my career and criticize my choices. It’s really not my place.
I am vain. I think vanity is a good thing. It’s done more good things for me than it has not.
I work through life with commas. I don’t even know, do you have parentheticals?
