“The chances of succeeding in this business are slim to none; there’s only a handful of people that have long careers.”

Whether it’s going out and auditioning for the play or trying out for the basketball team, you have to explore your boundaries and see where you really want to go and the only way you can do that is to break out of your shell.

I think the most important thing is to establish myself as an actor. As much as it’s a performing art, I’m not really a performer.

I think going through ‘Hairspray’ and other projects helped me learn about the business and life in general.

You gotta watch out for the moms.

Working out is my biggest hobby. It’s my Zen hour. I just zone out.

She was really spontaneous and fun and loved to make us sing and dance and paint. She was the coolest person in the world.

You see, Batman is a billionaire and there’s nothing really cool about a billionaire saving the world. But Spider-Man is Peter Parker, a conflicted character who puts on a suit and saves the world. I love that.

Personally, I was never the cool kid. I was always sort of a bookworm.

I wouldn’t change anything for the world, although the fame part of this [entertainment] industry is tough to handle at times.

The fans make the person a star.

I like when a girl knows what she looks like and dresses to accentuate those features.

I rebounded the ball and passed it – to the wrong team! They scored at the buzzer and we lost the game. To this day, I still have nightmares!

Life should be fun not dumb

I’ve grown up a lot, I’m on my own, and I’ve learned some valuable life lessons.

I wore goofy hats to school and did musical theater.

I’m very competitive by nature. And I like to be the underdog – It’s the best way to win. To come from behind and win is a great feeling!

Someday every woman will have orgasms- like every family has color TV- and we can all get on with the business of life.

I came into this music business at 26 years old. I was a fully developed man at that point. At that age, I didn’t have anything to prove.

We are a company that lives and breathes a philosophy that’s centered on not only making sound business decisions but also personally and professionally finding ways to contribute to the well being of society.

I’ve always studied business. Even when I was a ball player, I’d read business journals and the business sections of newspapers.

I go back with this woman down a murky hallway, and then without missing a beat – these ladies are all business – she goes.

Putin has had many positive experiences working with Western political leaders whose business interests made them more disposed to deal with Russia.

I would probably have been terrified. But now, I feel prepared. I’ve been in the business for almost 20 years now.

Reality also is that there are a lot of gaps, there are a lot of business in between the iconic things.
