I've lived a very nomadic life, which I enjoy.
I don't buy art to put away somewhere. I buy art to appreciate, enjoy, and live with. It's supposed to add to your life.
My cousin once told me, 'You're tall, you're handsome - and you're gonna have to apologize for it the rest of your life.' He imparted that information to me.
I was quite fearless as a kid. But I've had to realize I'm not invincible. That's what breaking your back does. It makes you grow up and reassess life.
I think it's important if you are an actor, if you are portraying human life, you have to connect with what is human. It's not easy if you spend a lot of time in L.A. and get sucked into the hedonism of the industry.
Movies like that aren't about the visual effects and explosions. They're human stories about family, about life, about death.
I just want to have a nice, happy life.
Life is about balance, and we all have to make the effort in areas that we can to enable us to make a difference.
Life is going to unfold as it should because life always does.
Life sometimes doesn't work out exactly as we plan or hope for.
I pinch myself daily at the good fortune of my life, you know, in many ways.
I don't know any family that doesn't have a story somewhere. Besides, it you didn't have those things in life, you'd be so bland.
Maybe our generation is more about sex, but it feels like romance is dying out.
Whatever happens in life is fine - just trust in that.
