I did learn one great lesson from a past relationship, and that was to never talk about relationships in print again because I'd rather live my private life than read about it.

Everybody has difficult years, but a lot of times the difficult years end up being the greatest years of your whole entire life, if you survive them.

The older I get, the more I embrace my own idiosyncrasies.

I ask a lot because I'm very curious - especially about ex-girlfriends. I'm pretty good at getting the answers, too.

I think the key to happiness is allowing ourselves to not feel bad or guilty for feeling it, and letting it be contagious. And to not be dependent on other people to create your own happiness.

I am an eternal optimist. Being happy is a choice. And you can make that choice every day, if you want to.

I'm a clean freak and a germaphobe - I have hand sanitizer in my pocket.

Sticking to your values, listening to your instincts, making your own choices is so important.

Fate makes us family. choice makes us friends.

I think it all comes down to relationships - how I treat my wife, how I treat my kids, how I treat the guys at the grocery store, all aspects of every day, what I'm involved in.

No-one is exempt from speaking nonsense – the only misfortune is to do it solemnly.

So, I am independently well-off and don't have to do anything, but I still do. I write books, lecture around the world, work with scientists and governments.

In animation, there's silly things I get to do with my voice. I get to have a wider range, so my voice gets to dance more than it does on camera.
