Drama and comedy, to me ,are all about being surprising, coherent, and true, all at once.

I think we all live dichotomies. I'm a father of three boys and a loyal homebody sort of husband and father. And yet I act in movies and write and direct movies.

I frankly encountered more anti-Semitism in the northeast than I did in Oklahoma, but not much either place. Anti-Semitism is not part of my life.

Really, life is full of contradictions. Life is messy.

I am not a natural singer, but I can sing, and probably the way I sing is more imitative than from myself, which is why I am never going to be an amazing recording artist.

I've done about every kind of fishing you can imagine, but I've never noodled. And the reason I've never noodled is because I don't want to get bit by a water moccasin. I'm just too afraid of snakes.

I love writing about Oklahoma. I love writing Oklahoma characters; I love playing Southwestern characters.

I tried to film 'Leaves of Grass' in Oklahoma, but it was literally about a million dollars less to shoot in Louisiana.

I don't hate you, because hate is a feeling and I feel absolutely nothing for you.

No doubt, a father he is the most respected man in our lives, the most admired person. He is the protector, and the guardian of our lives.

What I wouldn't give to find a soul mate, someone else to catch this drift.

A woman is always ready to describe another woman as charming, but only if the other woman is not charming.

Your fate is to be yourself, both punishment and crime.

Artists in not only country but other genres usually make four or five albums, then they change producers to keep their sound moving forward.

I started in movies in Mexico and started doing telenovelas in Mexico. American Family was the first thing I did in English.

People learned to live with the most unimaginable things.

I've never swayed from who I am. People have seen me on television, and they know what I'm like and they know what I do and they respect me for what I do. They know that I'm huggy and kissy.

If you learn to condition yourself you can change anything you want in your life.
