The one thing that will be the bane of my existence with my kid will probably be the way he or she is most like me in some ways.
It's nice when they notice the deep voice from across the house, and they know it's papa. They know it's Dad.
I want to thank God because that's who I look up. He's graced my life with opportunities. He's shown me that it's a scientific fact that gratitude reciprocates
You know who it is? It's me in 10 years. So I turned 25. Ten years later, that same person comes to me and says, 'So, are you a hero?' And I was like, 'not even close. No, no, no.' She said, 'Why?' I said, 'Because my hero's me at 35.' So you see every day, every week, every month and every year of my life, my hero's always 10 years away. I'm never gonna be my hero. I'm not gonna attain that. I know I'm not, and that's just fine with me because that keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing.
It's one of the things I love about making films: the places I've got to travel that I would never have gone to before.
I personally don't like to go see romantic comedies. But people do want to see them, and they seem to want to see me in them.
The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
You want to be a writer? Start writing. You want to be a filmmaker? Start shooting stuff on your phone right now.
I keep a diary - one for each film and foreign land I travel to.
We found a great rhythm. Contractions started kicking in. I sat there with her, right between her legs. We got tribal on it, we danced to it! I was DJ-ing this Brazilian music.
Life is a series of commas, not periods.
That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.
My favorite dish is cleaning out the fridge on Sunday night and improvising a great medley.
I have some good friends of my own who happen to be gay, and when it comes to gay, straight, or whatever, I'm for anything life-affirmative. I'm for gay power, straight power, male power, female power; everybody should feel empowered without oppressing anyone who's different.
