I'm an adrenaline guy. I like to do stuff that gets my blood pumping, like roller coasters or jumping out of planes. I'm into all that crazy stuff.

I'm married, I have three children, I never hit my wife.

People genuinely happy in their choices seem less often tempted to force them on other people than those who feel martyred and broken by their lives.

Half the hoes hate, half them love me. The ones that hate me only hate me cuz they ain't [expletive] me.

Broke with nothing to live for and damn ready to die young. I'm the shadow behind the gun, look what I've become.

As far as religion goes, I feel like everyone should have their own one-on-one with God.

I feel like unforgiveness, bitterness and resentment, it blocks the flows of God's blessings in life.

Lazy people tend not to take chances, but express themselves by tearing down other's work.

Don't hang out in your old neighborhood with your new cars and flash it to guys who don't have that. The only thing you're doing is making 'em hate.

I've always been a spiritual person who believed in a Higher Power. So, I've always had my 1-on-1 with God, even if I wasn't much of a religious person.

Sin is a shameful act.

Some formulas are too complex and I don't want anything to do with them.

Sometimes in the middle of a presidential campaign, there's a political movie, and people are sick of hearing about politics, and they don't want to see that movie. They'd rather see "Godzilla."

As freely as the firmament embraces the world, or the sun pours forth impartially his beams, so mercy must encircle both friend and foe.

Commonplace people dislike tragedy because they dare not suffer and cannot exult.

I was timid and frightened as a child. Yours truly did not shin up mountains or do any other kind of adventurous stuff.

Everyone needs something to aim for. You can call it a challenge, or you can call it a goal. It is what makes us human. It was challenges that took us from being cavemen to reaching for the stars.

I'm a pretty psycho-obsessed shrink.

A smile from an attractive woman at a bar very rarely ends up in any sort of sexual encounter. But a man is a fool not to push the suggestion as far as it will go, and he's that man.

I think good storytelling continues to teach you how it unfolds. And so I don't think that film and stage are mutually exclusive at all. It's just that you're always in a wide shot.
