The greatest achievement of humanity is the human spirit.

Now I know what success is: living your truth, sharing it.

Decide what your truth is. Then live it.

No matter how smart we may think we are, no matter how committed we are to our truth, we can lose our way.

Ask yourself: what is it, that if I believed it down to my core, would change everything?

The act of going within, finding our truth, and then sharing it, it helps us far more than we know.

One thing I've learned: we don't stumble accidentally into an amazing life. It takes decision, a commitment to consistently work on ourselves.

If there's a definition of freedom, I think it's this: living life on your terms.

Success and failure come and go, but don't let them define you. It's who you are that matters.

I love making pictures, even if most of the results are lousy.

When I chop wood, I chop wood. When I carry water, I carry water.

Rolen's the perfect baseball player. It's his tenacity, his preparation, the way he plays. He tries to do everything fundamentally sound. And he puts the team team first-there's no fanfare with him.

I love playing darker roles, or roles with meat. I feel very comfortable in that environment. I don't know why. I don't know what that says about me. I really enjoy doing complicated characters.
