I did a lot of gasoline commercials - Hess, Texaco. I was part of the family in the car, the little brat in the back.

There are going to be peaks and valleys in everything - in your marriage, in your job, in your life. So just enjoy the peaks and ride out the valleys. Just try not to do anything too rash.

I think one of the things that saved me is that I never put all my eggs in one basket.

I spent my whole childhood wishing I were older and now I'm spending my adulthood wishing I were younger.

I always knew I was going to be a family man.

My career was full of struggles and dreams, disappointments and peaks and valleys. But there was no Twitter, no Facebook or TMZ. Young actors could make mistakes and not become the focus of tabloids.

In pop music, you say, 'You can do what you want to me.' Rock 'n' roll says, 'I'm gonna do what I want to you.'

Life is an adventure of our own design intersected by fate and a series of lucky and unlucky accidents.

Character is both developed and revealed by tests, and all of life is a test.

The huge problems we deal with every day are actually really small. We’re so focused on what bothers us that we don’t even try to see our lives from a clearer perspective.

Human beings are glorious and preposterous characters.
