Man who invented the hamburger was smart; man who invented the cheeseburger was a genius.
I got interested in the justice system. If I was, I'd probably be a defense lawyer. I was headed that way, but luckily changed my track to film school.
I've never been a manipulator, even in my bachelor days. I never wanted to do things to people that could catch up with me later on.
I don't know how to work a room. It's a real skill.
I believe in living in the present and making each day count. I don't pay much attention to the past or the future.
I go on The Daily Beast. The Daily Beast is one of the websites that I check out.
I like having my hands in the clay. I like the movie-making process.
I was raised on, 'You go get a nine-to-five job, earn your pay and work your way up.
I'm a football fan, a sports fan, a fan of competition.
I'm not arrogant enough to look back on my career and criticize my choices. It's really not my place.
The dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
I think I can keep a rhythm to a beat, but there are quite a few people who would argue with me.
I like to be directed, but when I'm flying and I'm on fire, I don't want someone coming and getting in my way just because they feel like they need to.
We have a big appetite for putting people down but, at the heart of everyone, there's enough room for all of us to succeed.
