I was never a guy that was really good with a gang of guys anyway.

I love being funny and talking with fellas.

Enjoy the now. Time flies, enjoy it while you can.

I want to be in Chicago. I'd like to.

With two kids. It's always too busy.

I've always done indie films, but things started picking up more for, for a lack of a better word, more professional things.

The thing I don't like about L.A. is that it's very industry-focused. That's not bad for kids. It's not hedonistic or anything, not any more shallow than anybody in the Midwest. It's not that.

L.A. was never really that interesting to me. I never really liked it. I like it now more than ever. It took me years to get used to it. But, it's not my kind of place.

The days take forever, but they just fly by. It's so weird.

I remember taking great pride in making Brad Pitt laugh. I always had a soft spot for him. He's such a sweet, sweet man.

He loved adventure but then he got hired by accenture!

You can't be afraid to get back up and try again, and you really can't do that unless you acknowledge the failure.

It gives me strength to have somebody to fight for; I can never fight for myself, but, for others, I can kill.

A picture of my existence... would show a useless wooden stake covered in snow... stuck loosely at a slant in the ground in a ploughed field on the edge of a vast open plain on a dark winter night.

The word God, to me, is like the word enlightenment. It's become so corrupted by our ideas of what God is.

The greatest victory is defeat.

The military works like government; is financed like government, and sports the same inherent malignancies and perverse incentives of government, down to the racial-spoils system.

I'm not against White writers writing about Blacks as long as they are as objective as say James McPherson writing about an Irish American janitor in his brilliant short story "Gold Coast."

Mr Robert Montgomery's genius [is] far too free and aspiring to be shackled by the rules of syntax? [His] readers must take such grammar as they can get and be thankful.

The film [Dream of Life] is the way it is because it was the rhythm of my life, and also because the director and the editor are both gifted and both fine human beings.
