When a defining moment comes along, you define the moment, or the moment defines you.
If you're willing to tell somebody that you love them, are you also willing to say you're sorry? You need to, even when you think you're in the right.
Real heroes are men who fall and fail and are flawed, but win out in the end because they've stayed true to their ideals and beliefs and commitments.
Failure doesn't kill you... it increases your desire to make something happen.
You have to decide if you're going to wilt like a daisy or if you're just going to go forward and live the life that you've been granted.
When I see my children, and when I see the people who value me, I know how lucky I am.
I'm a big fan of dreams. Unfortunately, dreams are our first casualty in life - people seem to give them up, quicker than anything, for a 'reality.'
Broken people say awful things and do incredibly absurd things.
I believe in the soul ... the small of a woman's back, the hanging curveball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.
You're just as good, and if you work harder, you can be better and you can be more than you think you can.
Sex and golf are the two things you can enjoy even if you're not good at them.

I like being around people that mean what they say.
If you don't understand your limitations you won't achieve much in your life.
True movies will never be measured by how much they make - they'll be measured by how they make you feel.
I don't give up. I'm a plodder. People come and go, but I stay the course.
I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.
A good idea is something like an emotion, you just can't keep it in.
We stand our best chance of leaving a legacy to those who want to learn, our children, by standing firm. In matters of style, hey, swing with the stream. But in matters of principle, you need to stand like a rock.
Money isn't a major motivating force in my life. Nor is my profession. There are other things that I care more about than being an actor.
Sometimes we worry about the things that you know that matter the least and don't focus on the things that matter the most.
I'm a 'what if' person. I have always felt that failure was a completely underrated experience. I have taken blows. I have had high moments. But I don't think the blows have ever hardened me. My enthusiasms are still big.
Life's better when it's fun. Boy, that's deep, isn't it?
There's nothing more noble than a father and mother making an opportunity for their child, knowing that their life is gonna be hard. There's something incredibly heroic about that.
You can be as you choose to be. It's an act of discipline sometimes, but it can be done.
