“Fate pulls you in different directions”

I keep working because I learn something new all the time.

There’s a lot of great movies that have won the Academy Award, and a lot of great movies that haven’t. You just do the best you can.

An awful lot of good movies have gone unrecognized, and an awful lot of bad movies have had tremendous recognition. As long as you keep that in mind, you are never really disappointed.

Nobody knows diddly. They just think they do. And the people that think they know the most know the least.

Just trust your instincts. There’s an old saying in golf, you’ve studied the swing many times, and you practice and practice, but when you stand over the ball, you just have to trust your swing. And you trust it. And if you don’t trust it, you’ll ruin it; your brain will take over.

I’d say people get to work and start being more understanding of everybody – instead of calling everybody names, start being more understanding. But get in there and get it done. Kick ass and take names. And this may be my dad talking, but don’t spend what you don’t have.

First, I blow a hole in your face; then I go back inside, and sleep like a baby… I guarantee you.

Sometimes if you want to see a change for the better, you have to take things into your own hands.

Tomorrow is promised to no one.

We are like boxers, one never knows how much longer one has.

You can’t stop everything from happening. But we’ve gotten to a point where we’re certainly trying. If a car doesn’t have four hundred air bags in it, then it’s no good.

Of course we all know Biden is the intellect of the Democratic Party. Kind of a grin with a body behind it.

Plagiarism is always the biggest thing in Hollywood.

You have to trust your instincts. There is a moment when an actor has it, and he knows it.

Always keep your ego in check and not be afraid to listen. Listening is a great art form.

It’s what people know about themselves inside that makes them afraid.

It’s fascinating to see how versatile New York City is. It lends itself to being so many different places!

Let a new place change you; come back different.

A situation is always comic if it participates simultaneously in two series of events which are absolutely independent of each other, and if it can be interpreted in two quite different meanings.

The Oscars are a really strange concept to me, that films and acting can be competing against each other. We’re not running the same race. It’s like we’re all doing different sports in fact.

Whatever else anyone says he was, he may have been. But Tupac really was a great American artist. The passage of time allows us to see things as they really are: We see the poetry; we see the personality; we see different sides.

Any man can do what he has to do. But doing it like you love it? That is what takes it to a whole different level. A champion does it like he loves it, even when he doesn’t.

The whole dating ritual was different when I was a kid. Girls got pinned, not nailed.

I stared because their faces, so different, so similar, were all devastatingly, inhumanly beautiful.
