I have a career I am proud of as a child actor. I'm not running away from it or embarassed with anything I did.

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.

I weren't an actor, I'd be a wildlife biologist or forest ranger.

I feel like I'm a fighter. I've fought my whole life to get to where I'm at. I like fight movies. When someone gets knocked down, I like to root for him to succeed.

I met the Queen, the Pope, and we went all over Europe and Asia. I just wish I was older when I did all this. Then I could appreciate it more.

I feel cheesy when I see Silver Spoons. Some of it was funny, but some of it was just cheese! My kids love it, but I look at it and cringe.

Directing, I just feel comfortable. I know what I want. I know what I want from my crew. I lead by example. I have limitless energy as a director.

Most people carry their demons around with them, buried down deep inside. Writers wrestle their demons to the surface, fling them onto the page, then call them characters.

The wonder of life begins in the womb of a woman.

When you decide clearly and definitely what you want, then no sacrifice is too great as you put all of your powers into astounding results.

Sometimes I park in handicap spaces while handicapped people make handicapped faces.

With hindsight, it is always easy to blame everyone else.

Failure is simply a price we pay to achieve success

I like to play different types roles, but I'd like to do a comedy next.

You'll always be two steps behind me.

I'm just beginning to direct. For all intents and purposes, this is the first time for me

I'm an artist, I'm not an academic folklorist.
