I find that as you get older, you start to simplify things in general.

There is a strange pecking order among actors. Theatre actors look down on film actors, who look down on TV actors. Thank God for reality shows, or we wouldn't have anybody to look down on.

After doing One Fine Day and playing a pediatrician on ER, I'll never have kids. I'm going to have a vasectomy.

Peace is a fulltime job. It's protecting civilians, overseeing elections, and disarming ex-combatants. Peace, like war, must be waged.

I don't believe in happy endings, but I do believe in happy travels, because ultimately, you die at a very young age, or you live long enough to watch your friends die. It's a mean thing, life.

Life’s better with company. Everybody needs a co-pilot.

Failures are infinitely more instructive than successes.

I'm a Method actor. I spent years training for the drinking and carousing I had to do in this film.

I'm not about saving franchises.

Most people are so constituted that they can only be virtuous in a certain routine; an irregular course of life demoralizes them.

True love is a reflection of the Savior's love. In December of each year we call it the Christmas Spirit.

I love to make movies about young people - young scientists that are inventing things and all the writing they did was very funny and very true.

Be merry all, be merry all, With holly dress the festive hall; Prepare the song, the feast, the ball, To welcome merry Christmas.
