I am just like my mother. She raised me to love and take care of animals, especially the ones that need it the most and so I started Eddie's Rescue Ranch. We take in animals that need extra care and attention and the animals that get left behind.
When it comes to being a responsible steward of the economy, Congress needs to either lead by promoting a pro-growth economic agenda - or, better yet, get the heck out of the way.
Life contains but two tragedies. One is not to get your heart's desire; the other is to get it.
I can't wait until we get to the stage where we don't have to explain anymore.
It's going to take a certain man for me to ever get involved with, because he'll have to realize I don't have two children, I have three. Tommy is always going to always be a part of my life.
I don't know what it takes to make marriage work, but I'm going to keep trying until I get it right. I haven't given up on love or marriage.
Life just doesn't hand you things. You have to get out there and make things happen. that's the exciting part.
Running clears my mind, and gives me a reason to get out of bed in the morning.
I still want to be the guy who can get on the subway and check out the freak on the subway.
I always tell young girls, surround yourself with goodness. I learned early on how to get the haters out of my life.
My parents, they're the kind of people that didn't want me to get a big head, so they just kept challenging me and challenging me.
As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.
Even in large corporations, smaller ideas may not get enough resources.
I get to fish a lot of wild and wonderful places on tour.
I had to focus and create a character in Bagger Vance, not just do my 'Will Smith' thing and get paid.
I think if you're fame-hungry, go out to a nightclub and get drunk... why do that? I don't understand how some people would want fame so bad that they'd go out and get negative attention to earn it.
As you get older, you sometimes feel that it's harder and harder to get something new and wonderful to come into your life.
It's amazing. My kids have grown me in ways I never knew possible. The patience I've received and the love I get from them is just amazing.
As a director, I also get to sit and watch actors and learn from them in a way that I don't get to do when I'm just acting.
I do know where I'm going and it's just a matter of finding the language to get there.
So, I get a kick out of working with the media.
I would love to see Flip get back into the league. I think he can definitely still coach in this league. I think he will be in this league quicker than sooner.
I hate to say it, but the older you get, you really do have to cut down on the amount you eat. Less food and less portions.
Two years before the last election you nor anyone else would have predicted that Barack Obama was going to get elected president of the United States.
I have three tools at my disposal - my whistle, my body language and my talk. It is a question of how I marry them up to try to get the players around to my way of thinking.

I wanted to express myself. I wanted to be creative and I didn't want to worry about someone bossing me around in the process. You have to struggle no matter where you are to get to where you're going, so I'm like, working it honey!
In all seriousness, I don't get people who need to make a proposal a bigger deal than marriage already is.
I like flawed characters very much. A lot of times I get asked to do parts that are kind of small but key - three-scene roles that are three kick-ass scenes. Growing up, watching as many movies as I did, I was always into character actors like that.
I enjoyed my upbringing, my siblings did, we're polite, we're respectful, but at the end of the day we're young, we like to have fun. But now, more so than ever, the youth has been vilified to the point where it feels like you can't enjoy being young any more, you just have to sit it out and wait until you get old.
Where I grew up in Dallas, things might be a little more traditional. People have the same things in mind. They're supposed to grow up, go to college, get a job, get married, and have children, grandchildren. That's the world I grew up in.
Those differences are what color the performance, but in the movies you don't get a chance to rehearse.
I simply told people what I thought about the state of the war in Vietnam, and it was that we better get out of this.
When I left the Treasury, there was a poll that showed - and I don't remember the numbers exactly right - something like 90% of the people were against TARP. It prevented a disaster, but you don't get credit for a disaster that people don't see.
Most voices get weaker and frailer. I seem to be getting better with age.
I carried props into the subway - the latest 'Semlotext(e),' a hefty volume of the Frankfurt School - so that the employed would not get the wrong idea or, more to the point, the usual idea about me.
