I think essentially the meaning of life is probably the journey and not really any one thing or an outcome or a result.
I'm entirely self-taught, which I think is both a blessing and a curse.
I am trying to do the best work I possibly can and making movies that will have resonance for years to come. I think if you try for an Oscar or a goal like that, the more people are going to see it as transparent. It's not on my radar. If it happens, great, but I'm happy to continue working as I am, really.
I think shortly after I got signed, it just started to dawn on me that I had something to say and that Yahweh put something in my heart to share with the world.
I can go back to Egypt anytime I want. Can I leave Egypt anytime I want? I think I can. I think I can.
I think I was the only kid on the block who knew about furniture scale by the time I was 8.
Well, I think In Love and War, which had a wonderful performance by Sandy, Sandra Bullock, who the authorities and, the supposed authorities, in cinema didn't want to know about.
I did stand-up for a long time, and I did classical theater. As much time as you could spend on a stage will always inform you and your job, as you evolve. I feel the freedom of being able to find comedy in the darkest moments because it makes it way more interesting, I think.
The perfect fit for L.A. would be the St. Louis Rams. I really believe that. I know their stadium deal is about expired, or it is expired. They're working through that. I think it would be the old Los Angeles Rams in town.
I think there is value in having practising scientists as leaders of research institutions.
I always have someone to look up to, and I think it helps me with motivating myself.
I always feel more comfortable in chaotic surroundings. I don't know why that is. I think order is dull. There is something about this kind of desire for order, particularly in Anglo Saxon cultures, that drive out this ability for the streets to become a really exotic, amorphous, chaotic, organic place where ideas can, basically, develop.
Yeah, we're sweet but savage, and I think a lot of Canadians are that way.
I think different people have different problems and different relations to the exhibition of their work.
I have no inhibitions about smoking or drinking, but I think too much of my voice to place it in jeopardy. I have spent many good years in training and cultivating it, and I would be foolish to do anything which might impair or ruin it.
I like to say what I think, and if it happens to push buttons, sorry.
I have to take time occasionally to get away from the pressures of this business. If I don't, I think I would get stale, and that would show in my music.
I think every character I play has a physicality to them, so I have to stay in some sort of shape. I'll never be a size two. And I don't want to be a size two.
I think that celebrities should never underestimate their power. I mean just to draw attention, because then people get involved on a personal level.
I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that.
I think people have to choose between living with contradictions or painting themselves into a corner. I have a lot of contradictions.
I think really that you shouldn't run as a conservative if you're not.
I think Microsoft will have to change. I think that the business of Microsoft, the company of Microsoft, is going to continue to succeed. But I think the business model of Microsoft is going to have to change.
I think what I've learned out of this lifetime is you should be proud of where you come from.
In a lot of Indian societies, spirituality has been lost, I think it's still the best way of looking at the world for Indians - better than any organized religion in this country.
I think there's always pieces of yourself that bleed into your character. That's inevitable.
I think that property is very important in this day and age. It defines you; you worked hard to get it. It's meaningful to you, and when you divorce, a lot of people have a lot of battles over their property for good reasons.
I think the world is much better off without Saddam Hussein than with him.
I think money is a wonderful thing because it enables you to do things. It enables you to invest in ideas that don't have a short-term payback.
I think with movies I am really connecting to the Joseph Campbell idea of the collective unconscious.
Sports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they've taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.
I wanted to just surround myself with people who I think are better than I am, whether they're actors or directors or producers, so that I could learn from them.
I think that smart is sexy, and driven is sexy, and passion is sexy, and if you're passionate about math, so be it.
I think that what drives most of us as human beings is the want for something. You might have a hope, or a big dream, or a goal that you haven't yet achieved.
I would never speak about specifics in my own relationships because I think it's tacky.
So I think we have an obligation with our size to make sure that we are open to what people have to say to us because the people who criticize us, they're not all mean-spirited.
