“I wake up laughing every day. I get a kick out of life.”

I’ve always had confidence. Before I was famous, that confidence got me into trouble. After I got famous, it just got me into more trouble.

Every day, I work at not taking this fame thing seriously. Fortunately, I have a great group of friends who help me do this.

There are, I think, three countries left in the world where I can go and I’m not as well-known as I am here. I’m a pretty big star, folks – I don’t have to tell you. Superstar, I guess you could say.

I always question whether it’s the right time for anything I do.

When you think about where are you going to find that big love of your life, you seldom think it’s someone you already know. You think it’s someone you’re yet to meet.

I mean, look, I wear makeup in films. I don’t wear makeup in real life. It’s just part of the gig, that’s all.

You can’t undo the past but you can certainly not repeat it.

There is nothing better than strolling down the beach the way God made you.

Too many children in foster care are falling through cracks. Be a hero, take the time learn about adoption today.

Your kids need your love and attention, and being able to devote myself to them is very fulfilling. As I get older, spending time with my daughters makes things much easier. You learn to put your ego aside.

I think that there are a lot of law enforcement officers out there who work according to their own set of what is right and what is wrong. And that doesn’t always include respect for administration cops, you know, people that are higher up the food chain.

At 25, you’ve got millions of brain cells to kill.

I believe in justice, and I believe in people being held responsible for their actions.

It doesn’t matter how many people I’ve killed. What matters is how I get along with the people who are still alive.

All the films are hits before you turn the camera on. It’s only in the execution that they fail. I’ve been less than happy with the way a couple of films were edited, but it’s a director’s prerogative and you gotta go with it.

There’s a long history of all kinds of cop films… But all these films are really about the same thing: the good guys triumphing over the bad guys.

It seems that laughter needs an echo.

Our laughter is always the laughter of a group.

A good laugh makes any interview, or any conversation, so much better.

Doing drama is, in a sense, easier. In doing comedy, if you don’t get that laugh, there’s something wrong.

Laughter is a sunbeam of the soul.

There is nothing [that] disarms us like laughter.

I have never been converted to or even had much interest in spiritualism, occultism, Swedenborgianism or any particular religion. And I never, except occasionally for a laugh, visit the quacks who call themselves psychics.

However spontaneous it seems, laughter always implies a kind of secret freemasonry, or even complicity, with other laughers, real or imaginary.
