I'm really close to my family, and we talk through things. My parents are so amazing, they're brilliant. We try to take one step at a time and be wise about the decisions we make and keep our values and the things that are important.

When I started in the theater, I'd do plays by Shakespeare or Ibsen or Chekhov, and they all created great women's roles.

I go into every film not just wanting to play the hot girl in the movie. It kills me.

There is no kind of music I don't listen to. Everything good is interesting. I am as happy with a Bach fugue as I am with a record by Thelonious Monk.

The idea that an author can extricate her or his own ongoing life experience from the tale being written is a conceit of very little worth.

I love writing, and I love postproduction. That's great, because you start to reassemble the film, and you sit there, and you start to really put the film together, finally. The shooting of it is the most stressful part of the process.

The true foundation of republican government is the equal right of every citizen in his person and property and in their management.

I married a woman from New Orleans, so I had family here. Post-Katrina, I had a number of friends call me up and say they wanted to do something to help the community - not just Habitat for Humanity or Red Cross, we've done that, but what can we do for the community.

When I got with Nina Greenberg, I had been running for a few months already without a trainer. But then she gave me a program and guided me through my runs, showing me how to take care of myself and letting me know I should ice my legs and stretch - stuff I hadn't been doing.

You can't tell a millionaire's son from a billionaire's.

But I know newspapers. They have the first amendment and they can tell any lie knowing it's a lie and they're protected if the person's famous or it's a company.

I'm not shy about trying to find what truth there is in any genre, whether that be an action piece, a sci-fi piece, a small indie film, or a play. I'm open to it all.

We all knew each other in the neighborhood. I loved living in El Paso. I had a wonderful childhood there.

This is just another man, another fight, another payday.

A wise man turns chance into good fortune.

I am comfortable at the height where destiny has put me.

People who are pierced should not be snickered at, should not become the object of ridicule, should not be singled out for special and uneven and unequal treatment. They should be respected just like everybody else.

Life isn't fair. It's true, and you still have to deal with it. Whining about it rarely levels the playing field, but learning to rise above it is the ultimate reward.

I'm proudest of the fact that I've been able to make a few movies in the studio system that are slightly unorthodox and personal. But it's never quite as easy as you dream that it could be.

A man has to be Joe McCarthy to be called ruthless. All a woman has to do is put you on hold.

But sweetly and discreetly love passes from person to person, from heart to heart, or it is nothing worth.

Peace, truthfully, is how you feel inside.

There's no success story. Everybody's got a ghetto story. You always want to make it bigger than what it is.

It’s all about “Priorities”. There's no such thing as "Busy”.
