“The male is always the pawn in a romantic comedy. Come together, break up, go chase her, get her, roll credits. That’s what happens in all of them.”

I’d rather go around in a good pair of jeans that you don’t wash every day, because they get more and more comfortable.

When I first starting making money, when I first made my first six-digits.

What’s the biggest compliment is if I read a review and it’s exactly what I wrote down in my diary before ever filming it. That’s really cool. That’s the biggest signifier of closing the gaps.

The challenge for me as an actor is if you become a celebrity, you don’t meet strangers anymore. And strangers are where we have our anonymity. And I believe it’s essential for the soul to be anonymous, especially if you’re going to be an actor.

I’m not arrogant enough to look back on my career and criticize my choices. It’s really not my place.

Don’t say you can do something when you really can’t.

I’m a golfer, and what are the two sports you can do till you drop? Golf and surfing. They’re great for you limber-wise, they’re great for you health-wise, and they put you in sweet locations.

I’m for gay power, straight power, male power, female power; everybody should feel empowered without oppressing anyone who’s different.

See, ‘A Time to Kill’ was the one I got famous off of. Big ka-boom, over one weekend. After that, I did films that I really wanted to do.

If you want your hair to be thicker, cut it when the moon is about to be full – a heavy, full, waxing moon. Do not cut it when the moon’s waning.

There’s a gap between what I want to do, what I do on camera, and what gets edited. Right? So the goal is to try and close the gaps.

A creep is someone who claims he’s one thing but he’s actually another.

I’m one of the most adaptable guys I know in as much as travelling is my favourite thing to do in life. With every place I go.

I have my own vocabulary. I love linguistics. That surprises people.

My rule is to break one sweat a day.

You want to be a writer? Start writing. You want to be a filmmaker? Start shooting stuff on your phone right now.

I am the luckiest old broad on two feet if the truth were known. It’s – but it all goes back to ‘Mary Tyler Moore,’ ‘Golden Girls,’ all those – actors love to take the credit. We couldn’t do it without the writers.

The credulity of dupes is as inexhaustible as the invention of knaves.

A lot of times when you keep it real with somebody, you can’t expect them to keep it real with you. In this industry people just want to be famous and they forget how to keep it real and they forget to give credit to the people who helped them get to where they at.

Friendship, like credit, is highest when it is not used.

Rather than rewriting the law under the pretense of interpreting it, the Court should have left it to Congress to decide what to do about the Act’s limitation of tax credits to state Exchanges.

All the credit of development in India goes to PM Modi.

I would also urge leaders to remain humble. If you don’t worry about who gets the credit, you get a lot more done.

Remain humble. Don’t worry about who receives the credit. Never let power or authority go to your head.
