I'm trying to make people feel welcome and feel valued.
You wasted $150,000 on an education you could have got for a buck fifty in late charges at the public library.
No matter how much you change, you still got to pay the price for the things you’ve done.
It doesn't matter how you get knocked down in life, because that's going to happen. All that matters is that you gotta get up.
I do the same thing for myself (as an actor) that I do for others.
All I do, really, is go to work and try to be professional, be on time and be prepared.
Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms.
I want to thank my wife who I don't normally usually associate with Iran. I want to thank you for working on our marriage for 10 Christmases. It's good. It is work, but it's the best kind of work, and there's no one I'd rather work with!
It's not something that can be ameliorated with the one telethon we did the month afterward. It's a continuing process.
would make a superb public candidate for public office in the future.
It's wrong and disgusting to follow children around and take their picture and sell it for money.
Making movies has become such a golden ring, and it's all such a big business, that the rewards system has gotten totally out of whack. Suddenly, you're treated in a manner befitting someone who is actually an important person.
I have a good relationship with the world. But I don't know what the trick is to maintaining it.
I have a lot of influences. I like to sit down with the cinematographer a month before, and we'll watch pieces of 20 or 30 movies. You're basically the sum of all the experiences you've ever had, and they're sort of shaken up in you and reproduced in the things you create, and that includes seeing movies.
