“One of the great pleasures of going to see a Daniel Day-Lewis film: you haven’t seen him in five years. Where have you been?”

Vrtually having relationships, virtually traveling across the neighborhood, virtually going to that island.

I like having my hands in the clay. I like the movie-making process.

You hope it translates to a common denominator with the people that they see something in their own life in there. Or they see something in somebody else’s life. That’s what’s fun about sharing art.

When I see grace in a woman, that’s very sexy. You can tell by how someone moves or their rhythm.

I try to stay there long enough to do it justice, long enough so that I can at least imagine what it would be like to live there. Once I imagine that, then it’s OK for me to return home.

Whether I’m running on the beach without my shirt or whether I’m going out with my kids or going to church or going out to dinner.

Water’s never clumsy.

We dissect failure a lot more than we dissect success.

The unsaid rule for living in a trailer park is: ‘If the door’s shut, don’t come a-knockin.’ But if it’s open and you’re walkin’ by, feel free to say, ‘Hello.’

I’ve got incredible support from my wife and family and people around me. I’ve got great people around me who handle anything on the outside, business-wise, who help free me up to create in my job.

A coach, especially at a college level – much more at a college or high school level, than at a pro level – you’re more of a teacher than an actual coach.

You don’t look them in the eye and stop. Half the time, you’re listening, half the time, you are ignoring them.

Even as a kid, I wore J.C. Penney plain-pocket jeans because they were plain pockets.

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.

What the heck is true love? I remember feeling, back when I was 12 and ‘going’ with this girl, ‘Is this true love?’

I don’t like magic – but I have been known to make guys disappear.

There have been times when I played more than others, but I’ve been a road comic for a quarter of a century, so I’ve always played golf on the road because you have a lot of time to kill.

There’s never been anything like the so-called Vietnam Syndrome: it’s mostly a fabrication.

No great art has ever been made without the artist having known danger.

So, it’s a special event, right? Well, if you want to go see a movie that I’m in, it still may be a special event for you, but, you don’t feel like you don’t know where I’ve been.

I’ve never been one to look up the ladder. I’ve always looked down the ladder. As long as there’s one guy down there, I’m fine.

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

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