It's a different experience to be with your kids when your spouse isn't around.
Playing professional football is something I'll never be able to do.
With kangaroos, you say 'Sit!' and they start boxing with you. They're nuts!
To play a lawyer and have one year of law school under your belt, you sort of know what you're talking about! I'm able to memorize the legal courtroom stuff a lot faster than I would have been able to otherwise.
With Jerry Bruckheimer, you know you'll get your money's worth. You're getting huge action sequences, it's going to be funny, and you know it's going to look great.
I don’t want to react because I don’t want them to know it’s a bad word, but I want to encourage them to talk so I’m like, ‘That’s good!’
What if you could find brand new worlds, right here on Earth, where anything is possible? Same planet, different dimension. I've found the gateway.
When you have little girls, you're the coolest person in the world. I know at some point that's going to end; in their adolescence I'll become the opposite of that, especially if I'm parked outside a high school party.
Any time you're near a kangaroo, it's a close call.
There were tears in (her) eyes when she told me that she wasn't going to make it.
