Gratitude is the intention to count-your-blessings every day, every minute, while avoiding, whenever possible, the belief that you need or deserve different circumstances.

Compassion is the intention to see each human being as no better or worse than yourself, neither more nor less important, and as fundamentally similar to yourself.

As a first time director it's interesting, but not all that different from what I did before. A lot of parts of this job seem to be very similar to running a big company.

Marvel does a great job of making their characters human.

Attention is the intention to live without reservation in the here-and-now.

You can resent your bald spot or be glad you have a head

I'm definitely not afraid to be wrong.

I function better in an atmosphere of inner insecurity and fear.

To be on set every day with a whole bunch of people that know their job and my job a lot better than I do and I'm supposed to tell them what to do, that's very uncomfortable and awkward.

I don't want to make a movie for 100,000 fans that nobody else in the world sees, because I don't think that's good for the character.

I buy my Avengers tickets. But I think people are going to really get into seeing this other side of the world.

CONSIDER THIS When things do go wrong, ask yourself whether you could have prevented it by being unhappy.

From the evening breeze to this hand on my shoulder, everything has its truth.

The seeds of love have taken hold and if we won't burn together, I'll burn alone.

Soon all of you immortals Will be as dead as we are! Come on then, what are you waiting for? Have you run out of thunderbolts?

Some kids dream of joining the circus, others of becoming a major league baseball player. I have been doubly blessed. As a member of the New York Yankees, I have gotten to do both.

There's a little bit of me in all of the characters I've played. I've never really had the opportunity to play something that's a complete departure from me.

I believe most definitely that one must not only grapple with the problems on the board, one must also make every effort to combat the thoughts and will of the opponent.

To snatch the worm from the trap.

I'm all about fashion, cheeseburgers and bright-red lipstick.
