Comedy is important! When youre having a stressful day, and you come home, you want to watch something that makes you laugh.

I learned construction and carpentry from my father at a young age, so I felt very comfortable and I felt very satisfied when I worked in that field.

Dont listen to anybody. Nobody knows the magic bullet. If they did, theyd sell it and make a fortune. Follow your gut. Follow your instincts. Every once in a while, take a chance.

My favorite part about going to the gym used to be leaving.

The truth just happens - lies take time to make.

Everybody works in a different way, and I've worked with actors that have no training whatsoever who are phenomenal.

I much prefer the company of the crew, the sort of 'blue-collar working person.' I much more have that sensibility than what the public perceives as what a typical actor would have.

As an actor, you try to put a little bit of yourself in everything you do.

Most people don't like challenges at work. Actors love challenges at work.

The fact that I am able to live a life and act and to do all of those things and support myself and my family is a gift.

You've got to get your mind connected to the workout. Pay attention to what your body's doing. It's about connecting mind and the body. Visualize the muscles moving.

My father looked as if I'd just gutted him - but it was mingled with a twisted sense of satisfaction. It felt good to hurt his feelings.

Greatness comes by surrounding yourself with great people.

Clara looked at Maria and tried to understand what she must do so that Maria would be able to see her. But the little French girl cast all around her the bronze of infinite solitude.

If we rationalize our problems when He points them out, we will spend less and less time meditating because we won't want to face God in that area of our lives.

I fear that our true motivation is about oil and our own flailing economy; about the failure to destroy Al Qaeda and about revenge.

In fact, evolution became in a sense a scientific religion; almost all scientists have accepted it and many are prepared to "bend" their observations to fit in with it.

That's just a much more enjoyable and motivating experience for me, when I can see people who are just as obsessed with the idea as I am.

I look for things that no one I know, even myself, would ever come up with. If your solution is something that your friends or family might come up with, throw it away.

One day the faithful will have it all!

I do not believe it right for one group to impose its vision of morality on an entire society.
