I have a real eclectic taste for work, for movies, for characters and jobs.

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.

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 have dreamed much and have done very little.

My responsibility is to try to tell true stories. To me a true story is always hopeful, but never simply, uncomplicatedly happy.

For a moment, my heart aches for him. I should never have asked him to join me here; I should never have asked him to cross.

We're spirited and spiritual... and fun follows us around.
