“Sometimes your mistakes are you biggest virtues. You learn so much from the mistake. Those things that you think are the worst thing that’s happening to you can somehow turn around and be the greatest opportunity.”

If you take care of the woman in the family, the whole family prospers. But when the mother falters, the family falls apart.

The journey of life – we all go through it: You have love, you lose love, you find new love. To have love again is a beautiful thing.

I think each role takes a little from you and circles around you for the rest of your life. I don’t think you ever abandon any of them.

Don’t you worry about a thing, my darling. You live your life.

I just have a desire not to judge and view things compassionately.

Now my ability to notice things and respond to things and be here is far more profound. With that comes happiness, with it comes sadness, but it’s a beautiful life.

I suppose expectations are strange and I shy away from them. And the whole point of being an actor is to connect.

Part of our job as human beings is to share our knowledge and share the things we’ve learned. So we can either save people from making the same mistakes, or give them hope.

Breathe and don’t try to be perfect.

I refuse to let what happened to me make me bitter.

An actor who’s a control freak, that doesn’t work. We have to be malleable. We cannot come in and try to control or dominate.

That goes against what I believe morally. That’s adultery, and if I’m accused of that, no, that’s not right. I have two kids who see that and remember that and judge me. It didn’t happen, and it’s not to be reported that way.

Forget the past. You can never predict what the future is going to be. Live for the moment.

There’s something to be said for going back to a simple form of living-nature and family. There’s something very there’s safety in that.

If I fall over and make mistakes, I’ll pick myself back up and hope for the best and try to conduct myself with as much authenticity and moral code.

No matter how much you’re going to be criticized or no matter how big of a risk it is, the boldness is the thing that helps you.

Remember, I’m the kind of kid who used to get stuffed into a locker by school bullies. I’ve never felt like I’m a big star at any level of my life.

You can’t expect insights, even the big ones, to make you suddenly understand everything. But I figure: Hey it’s a step in the right direction if they leave you confused in a deeper way.

My biggest regret is sinking in places I should have swam.

A grown man should always carry cash, right? I don’t know who told me, but someone told me that a long time ago, and the biggest turnoff is when a guy doesn’t have cash on him.

We don’t really have any big family traditions; just spending time with each other is the most important part.

Newsflash: karma’s an even bigger bitch than me.

Your heart tells you big things in little ways.

The biggest advantage to believing in God is you don’t have to understand anything, no physics, no biology. I wanted to understand.
