I tend to stay up late, not because I'm partying but because it's the only time of the day when I'm alone and don't have to be performing.
My mother was a professional sick person; she took a lot of pain pills. There are many people like that. It's just how they are used to getting attention. I always remember she's the daughter of alcoholics who'd leave her alone at Christmas time.
A lot of good love can happen in ten years.
I haven't been as wild with my money as somebody like me might have been. I've been very safe, very conservative with investments. I don't blow money. I don't have a ton of houses. I know things can go away. I've already had that experience.
Maybe there is no actual place called hell. Maybe hell is just having to listen to our grandparents breathe through their noses when they're eating sandwiches.
I refuse to feel guilty. I feel guilty about too much in my life but not about money. I went through periods when I had nothing, so somebody in my family has to get stinkin' wealthy.
My family kinda hit the skids. We were experiencing poverty at that point. We all got a job, where the whole family had to work as security guards and janitors. And I just got angry.
Creative people don't behave very well generally. If you're looking for examples of good relationships in show business, you're gonna be depressed real fast. I don't have time for anything else right now but work and my daughter. She's my first prior...
I think I could go away tomorrow. I've already accomplished something. It's such a selfish business that sometimes I get sick of myself.
Morgan Freeman is so class. He's so cool. He's so scary.
But, you know, you can't be a star at home.
One thing I hope I'll never be is drunk with my own power. And anybody who says I am will never work in this town again.
My dad was like a stage mother he always pushed me to do what I wanted.
It is better to risk starving to death then surrender. If you give up on your dreams, what's left?
Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.
I really believe in the philosophy that you create your own universe. I'm just trying to create a good one for myself.
I wake up some mornings and sit and have my coffee and look out at my beautiful garden, and I go, 'Remember how good this is. Because you can lose it.'
Life is an ordeal, albeit an exciting one, but I wouldn't trade it for the good old days of poverty and obscurity.
I got a lot of support from my parents. That's the one thing I always appreciated. They didn't tell me I was being stupid; they told me I was being funny.
I'm very serious about no alcohol, no drugs. Life is too beautiful.
