It's an absolute myth that early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. Of course it doesn't.

I don't believe that hard work equals success. It can, and maybe it should, but I know that it doesn't. There's a very slight relationship between the two.

Don't ever let someone tell you, you can't do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you got to protect it.

As an american, you're born aiming so high - boys want to play in the major leagues, girls want to be princesses. We're cultivating little champions. It's like the land of little champions.

I think the challenges should be familiar. They should have some relationship to the feelings.

I think fate is massive, and it's never really had its place among forces we respect as having control over us.

Being an American, what I've noticed is that we're in such a race. You wake up and you realize you're in the middle of a race, and some people are running right by you.

I just think that movies are really fake; they should be fake.

I think squaring up success to equal money is silly, because it's so undeserved.

Misery is a routine you can learn to live with. It's like rain. Once you're soaked to the skin, you can't get any wetter.

I don't really have any dream roles. It's just things, which come up.

Social media is less about technology and more about anthropology, sociology, and ethnography.

Your friend, your enemy, your neutral all are equal. Genuine compassion is unbiased.

I love men that love women. Morgan Freeman, who I worked with on 'RED,' was very flattering to me. But he is flattering to all women. He is a woman-charmer.

The human soul is not framed for continued proximity, and the result of this enforced neighbourhood is often an appalling loneliness for which the rules of the game forbid assuagement.

If you just read Leviticus on the surface, you may think it's just a bunch of grumpy irrelevant rules; but, it's actually the way God gave his people access to himself.

My parents and grandparents always made me feel fortunate. I'm in a position to help others feel the same. It's just in my heart and is something I feel very very strong about.

I've walked out of films. But for every film I've ever walked out of, I've probably walked out of 500 plays.

A beautiful day with the buoyancy of a bird.
