I've always been the guy who doesn't necessarily get it with women. A woman would have to say, 'I like you, I want to go out with you, you can ask me.' And still I would question it. Did she mean it?
I'm not a Hollywood guy.
I'm not a gay man, but I will say this: I get it now. I know what all the hype is about.
I write flawed characters. Ones that do not always make the best decisions and are driven by ambition or lust. They are not black or white, they are in the large space that exists between.
I would always love to be an athlete, but it's got to be a tough day when you have to hang up those cleats.
I try to connect with the everyday, every guy.
I took a public speaking class in college and managed to make the class laugh a little bit.
I think I invented the phrase 'Don't overdo it.'
I really wasn't a class clown.
I never played music, but it's an important thing ... the studying, the inspiration.
I never played a musical instrument growing up but I knew kids who did and took it very seriously.
I just want to put some positive stuff out there. If it works, great. If it doesn't, no problem.
I had my boy in Boston on Easter Sunday. That kills me, from a sports perspective. He's a Boston baby and I'm a New York guy.
I had many teachers that were great, positive role models and taught me to be a good person and stand up and be a good man. A lot of the principals they taught me still affect how I act sometimes and it's 30 years later.
I don't want to be known as this goody-two-shoes who can only do comedies where puppies are licking peanut butter off my face.
I could never be James Bond.
From there, I tried out for a community theatre play, joined an improv group... it all started opening up.
For some reason and I don't know why, but I don't think that I'm funny in California. So I always want to do my movies east somewhere.
Every time you make a decision, you mess with someone's life.
Every time I do a movie where it gets physical, I say never again.
Every few months I'll pop into a comedy club or go to Vegas.
Back in '93 I saw my first UFC fight and just became enamored by it then.
As American as an apple is and as American as baseball is, they don't go together. You can't be chewing an apple at a baseball game. You've got to let go of the diet that day.
A song can take you to a special time in your life.
I want to do movies that I'm proud of where my kids, at some point, can see and I can feel comfortable sitting there watching it with them. And just that move people. That make people feel a little bit better about themselves when they leave the theatre.
