I was always surrounded by people that wanted to mentor you.
I think that you can take things personally or get hurt feelings as a result of something not working out just because your psyche said it should or you deserve it, or whatever it is.
The thing about Netflix is that you get more minutes in your episode because there are no commercial breaks. You have time to let things breathe and be quiet. You get to see an entire scene play out instead of just jumping halfway in.
You cannot make women contented with cooking and cleaning and you need not try.
Yes, I believe blue material is funny, but if that's all you've got, you're dead in the water. It's not good.
To tell you the truth, it's a complex piece, so I can't really answer your question at present.
I definitely had those moments, like any actor, when you get anxious and think, 'When am I going to work again?' But I would feel that way even when I had every offer in the world coming to me. Then I became a father and I felt a little more of the anxiety that came with the responsibility of being a parent.
The easiest thing to do, whenever you fail, is to put yourself down by blaming your lack of ability for your misfortunes.
Anything you build on a large scale or with intense passion invites chaos.
The serve, I was too young and too small and... not enough powerful to have a good serve when I was young, so my forehand was always my signature shot. So I used to always run around my backhand, you know, use my forehand as much as I could, and so that's why I think it's my strength also today, you know.
If the guys on the bench were as good as the guys you have out there, they'd be out there in first place.
The engineering is long gone in most PC companies. In the consumer electronics companies, they don't understand the software parts of it. And so you really can't make the products that you can make at Apple anywhere else right now. Apple's the only company that has everything under one roof.
There is no point to samba if it doesn't make you smile.
I love a Dustbuster. You go around, pick up little crumbs, and everything is nice again.
In this business, if you take too long, the landscape changes. So the opportunities that were there when I decided to take a break weren't there when I came back. It's like, 'Wait a second - what happened here?' It was a real learning experience. I've paid my dues, I will tell you that.
It's a rare thing to find somebody you can work with, work off of, and have fun with.
You're surfing with all this glamour, and a lot of people are talking about Gwyneth, JLo, and Cameron.
Sometimes your kids give you that shove out the door to do things that you need. Teenagers are good that way; they keep you in the loop.
I advise wannabe singers to form a band, practise in your garage if you have to, but do as many charity or open mic shows as possible to get experience. I sang for seven years before getting a record deal, and I was already loving what I was doing. I just got lucky and got discovered.
In 50 years, I don't think you're gonna look back at 2006 and say, 'The good old days.'
You are only young once, and if you work it right, once is enough.
Surgery is not going to improve your skin - all it's going to do is make you look tighter, like Joan Rivers!
I beg you do not vote for stills and open bar-rooms in the county.
Which goes to show you, you can make all the laws you want, but you cannot change people's ways. If you must change them, you have to understand that it will take a long time.
The beauty of having a producer is that you have someone who says, You're finished.
I usually destroy unreleased material. It has a way of coming back to haunt you.
The difference between a beautifully made failure and a beautifully made hit is who you've got playing the leads.
If you're thinking clearly and are content about where your life is - to where you can just think about the present, think about the now - that's what you need to do to hit good golf shots. I know there are a lot of distractions, but when you're thinking clearly, you're more free. You've got to have that freedom on the golf course.
You can't generalise, of course, but there is a school of American acting where there is a kind of pride in the number of takes you can do.
Have you ever gotten the feeling that you aren't completely embarassed yet, but you glimpse tomorrow's embarrassment?
I will check the internet for at least an hour every morning scanning worldwide news to do with child abuse. So if you're constantly putting yourself in an environment where you're checking up on social economics or homelessness problems, if you keep yourself aware of it, you don't really have a day off.
I remembered a long time ago when 'A League of Their Own' came out, and they had the opening sequence with an older Geena Davis. We all just thought it was amazing, but you find out it actually wasn't Geena Davis; it wasn't makeup. It was basically finding an actress that looked like her, and then Geena just dubbed her voice.
Sometimes people come up to me and say, 'You were my teen crush.' I'm honored and I'm touched, but I also ask, 'What happened? Why'd you take the poster down?' I get a little heartbroken in that situation.
What do you do if you are asked to do a job, first by the Prime Minister, and then by the King? How can you refuse?
Like all of my fictions, 'Sinner' is a mirror. Look into it and you will find yourself. What you do with what you see is your choice.
I think when you're looking for people to interview, you want to make it fair and honest. You're not just bringing people on so you can beat them up or, you know, make fools out of them or something.
