“Africa is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.”

I love having my hands in the dirt. It is never a science and always an art.

I say to the paparazzi, ‘Fellas, take your shot and go.’ It’s just they usually find me on a beach.

You don’t play characters that are celebrities – you play guys who know what to do when their septic tank’s blocked.

When I’m surfing, I’m sure not thinking about the paparazzi. I guess if they start getting on floaties and coming out there in the water, then I might be a little upset.

I don’t dislike any of my exes. If I took time to form a relationship, it’s gonna hurt when we move on, but are you puttin’ White-Out over all that beautiful time together? That was real time in your life. It’s connected to where you are today.

Starting at about, I guess, forever, I’ve always looked forward to getting older. When I was 14, I couldn’t wait to be 16 and get a driver’s license.

I’ve been in a couple of weddings where the coolest people that were the most day before so mellow and then the day of the wedding freaking out.

My life is the road, man. I need to keep moving.

I personally don’t like to go see romantic comedies. But people do want to see them, and they seem to want to see me in them.

I love Los Angeles, and it’s been very good to me, but if everyone is running around telling the stories, who’s living them?

If you can be mentally stimulated by the workout and find out how to get through it, it’s more fun.

My lawyer has been a good friend of mine for a long time. He and I continuously have conversations.

I know when I grew up, it was, if it was daylight outside, get outside. Well, now, with the technological age of computers and everything, everyone’s inside virtually going everywhere they want to go.

It’s not a science when you are judging art, but we’d be remiss to say you can’t look at something and say, ‘This is more well done than that.’

My last name is originally Irish. I’m not exactly sure whereabouts it’s from, but I’ve got family branches that were traced back there.

When you have good friends you’ve been around, every time they talk, you don’t give them your full attention.

The Arctic is a place that historically, during all preceding human history, has largely been an icy realm with an impact on ocean currents.

If you look at the history of Notre Dame, if you hire a coach who’s been successful at another college program, they’re going to be ultra successful at Notre Dame because the talent will always be there.

Bill Belichick was probably the most organized coach that I’ve ever been involved with.

I feel like I’ve been very blessed to have some great mentors through the years, starting with Don James, who was my college coach, who really inspired me to want to be a coach, which is not something that I really had in mind.

It’s always been a great survival value for people to believe they belong to a superior tribe. That’s just in human relationships.

If they lose, then their life has somehow been diminished. I’m not that way, and it keeps me steady.

We have been far too aggressive about extracting ocean wildlife, not appreciating that there are limits and even points of no return.

The audience has always been my best director.
