Being off the road is one of the greatest things ever. It's hard for me to be around my friends who are on the road.

We do have to remain true to the idea of honesty within what you want to do.

There's nothing better than striving to be a better man.

Everybody has their own ways of wanting to do things.

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the action that we do.

When I was I kid, there were so many different things that I wanted to be. As an actor, I get a chance to be all of those things, at least for a couple of days, which is fun.

People seem to trust you more when you're pregnant. I think they see you as some kind of Mother Earth figure.
