Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you get good at.
I'm one of the most adaptable guys I know in as much as travelling is my favourite thing to do in life. With every place I go, I try to stay there long enough to do it justice, long enough so that I can at least imagine what it would be like to live there. Once I imagine that, then it's OK for me to return home.
My lawyer has been a good friend of mine for a long time. He and I continuously have conversations.
I'm a pretty loyal guy with friends and family, I've had the same friends for a long time.
I've read a lot of really great characters in some really crappy stories, where I said, like, 'Boy I could shine here, but the story sucks.' I don't want to be part of that.
Even as a kid, I wore J.C. Penney plain-pocket jeans because they were plain pockets. I didn't want anybody's name on my backside. I personally don't like to wear clothing that is named for somebody or has someone's likeness all over it.

It was let's coach football, take baby steps, do what we have to do. He likes to philosophize. He's got opinions on everything. He'll let me know. It's an honor to be stepping into his shoes. What he did was life inspiring things." ()
I was responsible for Brandon Lang, ... That was my job, to be able to make a believable character who you can understand and go through the whole story with." ()
She's got a premiere in Paris. But we're both having a great night." ()
She's a cool ghost. Maybe me being nude all the time is why we get along." ()
We spend so much time sublimatin', thinkin' about, 'What am I going to have for lunch, dinner?'
Without exercise, I don't feel like my head works right.
