“When you’re shooting a movie you are away from home most of the time. It’s an amazing thing that we get to do what we get to do, but you definitely are away from the family more than you’d like to be.”

It’s important I surround myself with people who make me happy.

It’s hard to soar with the eagles when you’re surrounded by turkeys.

I had my moments of being humiliated, and then I had moments of doing something humiliating. I’m glad I lived out both roles.

I definitely connected to the fact that life gets out of control and you end up doing things and wishing you were doing other things instead.

In one day, I have times where I’m feeling great, I feel like I love my life, and then 2:30 rolls around and I’m the angriest man alive. My wife sees it.

You’ve just got to give yourself time – that’s good advice I think. Give yourself time to figure out what you’re good at and what you’re not good at.

When the kids are laughing in the audience, I tear up, I’m so happy I did a nice thing.

I don’t like being out in public too much. I don’t like going to bars. I don’t like doing celebrity stuff.

With the amount of money I have, it’s difficult raising children the way I was raised.

I think when I bought a house, that’s when I thought I felt like that’s a grown up thing to do.

I enjoy doing all different types of movies even though I am the most comfortable with comedy.

I wasn’t a kid growing up thinking, ‘One day I’ll get an Oscar and make a speech.’ That wasn’t on my mind.

I do feel good doing them [family-friendly movies], but it’s not going to be my way of life. I’m a comedian.

Now that I’m a parent, I understand why my father was in a bad mood a lot.

I do want children. I study dads more. I watch what they go through. I admire my father more than I ever did and my brother and my sister.

I don’t laugh at me. I used to. I used to get the giggles when I’d see myself. But now, I see myself onscreen, and I sure don’t laugh.

Those are the same stars, and that is the same moon, that look down upon your brothers and sisters, and which they see as they look up to them, though they are ever so far away from us, and each other.

When I was a boy, I would ask about my family history, about my bloodlines. We really didn’t know that much. We had a little Indian in us from the Oklahoma Trail of Tears.

In Positano, I like the San Pietro Hotel, which is run by a friend whose family has owned the hotel for more than 100 years.

Nothing separates a woman or a family from God’s love. Not death, and certainly not divorce.

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.

I hate the word surrogate, because what does that mean? Like when people talk about I`m my father’s confident, at one point, they were actually saying major newspapers were publicly were writing that I was Vice Presidential candidate. I`m saying no. I`m a daughter.

A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss. That’s the trade-off. But I’ll take it all.

God, in His wisdom, has so linked the whole human family together that any violence done at one end of the chain is felt throughout its length.
