“Moments are so fleeting; I want to hold on to the good ones.”

I think there was something about being in a tough environment that gave me a certain drive.

Your life can become the background for the art you create.

I think that marriage is beautiful. And if it’s a partnership with someone you love, then it really is beautiful. Yeah, I think that marriage does work.

If you treat me fairly, I’ll give you all my goods.

My life is rich because I have those kinds of people in my life.

Writing in my journal keeps me focused on my spirit and what I need or feel.

Business can change you, and chew you up, and spit you out, and be rid of you, and on to the next thing. That’s why it’s so important to know who you are and stand up for something.

Good food is an amazing blessing. Whenever you can sit down at a table, eat food that is extremely delicious, and are surrounded by people you love it’s: Wow, life is good.

When I’m on stage, my interaction with the audience is something that really makes me come alive. It’s a feeling like no other. The energy of the crowd fuels something new inside.

All good actors are unpredictable, and a little crazy in a good way, because they feel more secure playing other people than themselves.

Nothing in fine print is ever good news.

I am relatively familiar with getting a good old rumping from the critics. In some cases, the critics just didn’t like the film – fair cop. Others, I think, didn’t understand it.

I want my weekends off and I want to put my kids to bed. Those are good reasons to want to be in ‘Batman 2’.

Acting is not a competition; everything must be done for the good of the film or else everybody loses.

I’m blessed with a good pair of ears. That’s how I fooled my piano teacher. I’d watch his fingers and I’d listen to it, and I just kind of basically learned it by myself.

If you got a good imagination, a lot of confidence and you kind of know what you are saying, then you might be able to do it. I know a lot of colorful characters at home that would make great actors.
