Zitat des Tages von Brad Pitt:
What's valuable to me has become clearer as I've got older. To me, it's about the value of your time and your day and the value of the people you spend it with.
You want to stake your own claim. You don't want to be called a copycat.
I know when I go outside, there'll be a van or two and they'll probably follow us four out of seven days a week, trying to get something. But I'm just going across town and I know they're just wasting their day, so it doesn't bother me anymore.
I'm one of those people you hate because of genetics. It's the truth.
I tell all the young guys, don't make choices because somebody else is telling you it's good from a career-maintenance perspective.
I spent the '90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony.
It's a violent world we live in. I don't agree with trying to hide that or cover it up.
Heartthrobs are a dime a dozen.
Given a chance, I would like to work with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan because she's a versatile actor.
It's those difficult times that inform the next wonderful time, and it's a series of trade-offs, of events, of wins and losses.
I phoned my grandparents and my grandfather said 'We saw your movie.' 'Which one?' I said. He shouted 'Betty, what was the name of that movie I didn't like?
I have very few friends. I have a handful of close friends, and I have my family, and I haven't known life to be any happier.
You must lose everything in order to gain anything.
I'm sure they're saddened by me, and I get frustrated with them. But I love them, and at the end of the day if they need me or if they need anything, I'm there for them. Family.
I grew up on certain movies, particular movies that said something to me as a kid from Missouri, movies that showed me places I'd yet traveled, or different cultures, or explained something, or said something in a better way than I could ever say. I wanted to find the movies like that.
My happiest moment is the day they call wrap and I'm free. I'm not looking back.
If I'm going to work, I want to work with my wife.
I'm most comfortable with the Southern dialects, really. It's easy, for example, for me to do Irish because we've got Irish heritage where I come from.
I look and there's our boy from Vietnam and our daughter from Ethiopia, and our girl was born in Namibia, and our son is from Cambodia, and they're brothers and sisters, man. They're brothers and sisters and it's a sight for elation.
You hear stories of intense actors who can't shed their character and who don't know who they are for a week or two after. I'm not that guy, man.
I always liked film as a teaching tool - a way of getting exposed to ideas that had never been presented to me. It just wasn't on the list of career options where I grew up.
I'd like to design something like a city or a museum. I want to do something hands on rather than just play golf which is the sport of the religious right.
I guess I just don't see America as separate from Vietnam or Ethiopia. This mentality of 'our team's better than yours' - it's a high school idea. My kids don't see those dividing lines, and I don't want to either.
The Internet has done a wonderful thing for us. But democracy doesn't work unless people are well informed, and I don't know that we are. People just don't have the time.
I've always been at war with myself, for right or wrong.
The best moments can't be preconceived. I've spent a lot of time in editing rooms, and a scene can be technically perfect, with perfect delivery and facial expression and timing, and you remember all your lines, and it is dead.
To be in love with someone and be raising a family with someone and want to make that commitment and not be able to is ludicrous, just ludicrous.
I believe you make your day. You make your life. So much of it is all perception, and this is the form that I built for myself. I have to accept it and work within those compounds, and it's up to me.
I'd say that 'Tree of Life' is not a Christian so much as a spiritual film.
Certainly the attrition rate of Hollywood couples looms large.
By the time this concert ends this evening, 30,000 Africans will have died because of extreme poverty. By this time tomorrow evening, another 30,000. This does not make sense.
Being married means I can break wind and eat ice cream in bed.
When you see a person, do you just concentrate on their looks? It's just a first impression. Then there's someone who doesn't catch your eye immediately, but you talk to them and they become the most beautiful thing in the world. The greatest actors aren't what you would call beautiful sex symbols.
I have a hard time with morals. All I know is what feels right, what's more important to me is being honest about who you are. Morals I get a little hung up on.
Success is a beast. And it actually puts the emphasis on the wrong thing. You get away with more instead of looking within.
I oscillate between agnosticism and atheism.
