As long as you're getting along, it's nice to work with someone you know well.

Do men have a biological clock? I feel like I do. Something is definitely ticking!

We don't want women to really know men, because then they'll find out how much we need them.

I feel like I'm a fan of film who's actually in the business, too. So it'd be like saying like, ‘Yeah, I love the NFL,’ and then, ‘Yeah, I'm also a wide receiver.’

It's always been my personal feeling that unless you are married, there is something that is not very dignified about talking about who you are dating.

That's one of those things that will really hurt me personally, if I label a character or think about what it might do if it were to do well. I just try to do a good job with it.

I'm really just doing whatever comes my way and trying to stay busy and get better at what I'm doing.

You're making movies for 15 years and now people are like, 'You're the AT&T guy.'

I never had to say to myself, 'OK now, I've got to grow up and work for a bank, or go and sell real estate.' I never had to make that kind of break.

That just seems like a tough thing to do... just work in the middle of a company for your entire life. You just do the same thing out of college until you're 60, and then you retire

Im probably one of the worst people with numbers youve ever met. My brothers always kid that they think Im counting cards in Vegas, but Im just trying to add things up.

Stop giving other people the power to control your happiness, your mind, and your life. If you don't take control of yourself and your own life, someone else is bound to try.

self-awareness: the ability to realize what we are doing as we do it, and understand why we are doing it.

The meeting began well, meaning it had the potential for being short.

I first told the idea to an editor I had met who, after reading one of my novels for adults that was set in a high school, had an idea that I might write something for children.

I don't know if I was put on this Earth for a purpose or not. But I'm fairly confident that I'll be taken off of it for one.

I knew a Buddhist once, and I've hated myself ever since.

Lord, help me to see what comes my way as an opportunity instead of an inconvenience.

I eat an egg every morning, and when I'm done, I almost always have the thought: There. Now even if I'm captured and starved, I'll be able to live off the protein of that egg for a while.

Killing a defective infant is not morally equivalent to killing a person. Sometimes it is not wrong at all.

I don't want to commit myself in advocating a definite republican constitution which will get bogged down with the question of who would elect the President and when.
