feelings effects knows
You're anachronistic when you know that your feelings aren't going to have any effect on anything.
distance negativity healthy
Sometimes a bit of distance can be very healthy. You can go away by yourself on a trip and come back very glad to be with your partner because you've cleared your head out of all the negativity.
men thinking giving
I think it's good if a man gives a woman some time to herself because I think we all need that and we can all benefit from that. It doesn't imply a rejection of the other person, just a sense that because we do have our separate identities, sometimes you have to be less involved in another person's life or need to have that other person be less involved in your life.
mother years taught
I didn't know that my sister was really my mother until I was thirty-seven years old. But life has taught me that there have been a lot of things that I didn't know.
strong ideas people
I love women who have a strong sense of themselves because I know I have a pretty good idea of what I want out of life and I like to be around other people who are also pretty secure. It just makes things easier.
fun actors want
When I come up against a director who has a concept that I don't agree with, or maybe I just haven't thought of it or whatever, I'd be more prone to go with them than my own because I want to be out of control as an actor, I want them to have the control, otherwise it's going to become predictably my work, and that's not fun.
scripts actors film
I suppose I can do more for a script as an actor than as a writer - in the film sense.
issues rights civil-rights
If I were an Arab-American, I would insist on being profiled. This is not the time for civil rights. There are larger issues for Americans.
fun interesting needs
I've always had an urge to feed my need to have fun and feel free. I don't see any interesting alternatives.
sports cheer school
I have to keep myself in check when I go to the kids' sports events. I sit waaay in the back. I make sure I don't do too much cheering, you know what I mean? I'm still not quite adjusted to this modern school of thought: Oh, it doesn't matter who wins. I'm not all the way there yet, but I accept it from the back row.
movie stars people
A star on a movie set is like a time bomb. That bomb has got to be defused so people can approach it without fear.
running race race-against-time
We are going as fast as we can as soon as we can. We're in a race against time, until we run out of money.
sports philosophy thinking
I think the Greeks invented sports as an antidote to philosophy.
good-times motto my-motto
My motto is: more good times.
