Unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
When thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what they right hand doeth.
By their fruits ye shall know them.
Having children has helped me become a better actor because they remind you to play make believe. It's the ease and naturalness of their beings. They just play and it's completely real for them at the time. As an actor, if we do it well, we make you believe.
My whole family are hams. They're storytellers and everyone outdoes the next one.
I think it's because we're looking for the meaning. Where is the meaning? We have mindless jobs, we take frantic vacations, deficit finance trips to the mall to buy more things that we think are going to fill these holes in our lives. Is it any wonder that we've lost our sense of direction?
I've never been a jealous person, and I've never felt built up by someone else's failure - that's a cheap thrill.
I don't mind assholes. It's the dork I don't trust. The dork is the one who's trying to be whatever he thinks you want him to be. I trust the asshole cause you know where he's gonna stand.
I've done films where we don't rehearse, and I've done films where we heavily rehearse. I like rehearsals.
I've been in a couple of weddings where the coolest people that were the most day before so mellow and then the day of the wedding freaking out.
I think most defense attorneys know, to some extent, their clients are guilty.
Don't play an attitude; don't play a guy who's negative. Play a guy who's not trying to sell anybody on anything, he's just saying how it is and if you want to come by what he's thinking, you're welcome. If you do not, then do not.
If you want your hair to be thicker, cut it when the moon is about to be full—a heavy, full, waxing moon. Do not cut it when the moon's waning.
My rule is to break one sweat a day.
