I'm a hopeless romantic, I say very loudly and proudly. I get a lot of stick for it.

I wish I had some interesting stories about living in L.A., but mostly I just do my work and then go home.

I think that first love defines you and your relationships, for the rest of your life. I had a great first love. My heart was ripped out of my chest, but I think that happens to everyone.

I truly believe in love, and I think that every relationship should start the way that our relationship started with our first love when we were 16, 17 or 18.

I've really actually grown with my girlfriends and the people that they've introduced me to and the way that I've been welcomed in by their families. I'm a very, very lucky man.

I love traveling, but I hate planes.

Pfft, who wants to make a movie about a guy in a house?

I think I can speak on behalf of women and say that every woman wants a man who just loves them and lusts after them.

I don't know if I would go so far to say that I would punch someone in the face, but I would definitely stand up for my lady. But sometimes it's more attractive to use your words than your fists.

I don't categorize movies. I just look for great stories.

Nothing embarrassing, but hopefully I can call myself a gentleman because of my father.

Our confident hope is our great trust in God.

As a lawyer, I could engage in killer litigation with the best of them. It was war, after all.

I wanna read a good paper first thing in the morning. And if I see a lie about myself flash across the front of the cover, I don't think much of the rest of the newspaper.

To be alive is to totally and openly participate in the simplicity and elegance of here and now.

The secret of all great undertakings is hard work and self-reliance

...yet a memory cannot be trusted, for so much of the experience of the past is determined by the experience of the present.

I want my work to be accessible to people.

Throat clutching from the outset! The Never List stands as a sterling example of psychological thriller writing at its best. Cancel appointments and give up on sleep. It's that kind of book.

Money has yet to make anyone rich.

Shall I show you the door...or would you rather go out through the wall?" - Maris
