The three most important things a man has are, briefly, his private parts, his money, and his religious opinions.
Money and women. They're two of the strongest things in the world. The things you do for a woman you wouldn't do for anything else. Same with money.
We must always take from nature what we paint and always choose the most beautiful things.
Complex, statistically improbable things are by their nature more difficult to explain than simple, statistically probable things.
I believe in one thing only, the power of human will.
I think the perception of wealth and power is that things just become easier and easier when in reality as you raise the stakes things become more stressful.
I've never read a political poem that's accomplished anything. Poetry makes things happen, but rarely what the poet wants.
I have an evolving relationship with my father, and his memory, especially the older I get. I know that some of the things that interested him are things that interest me.
I'm a hopeless romantic, and very much the person in a relationship to go: If things are going well, I'll buy the flowers, remember the dates of things, plan fun nights out.
Moving to the country is a very bold thing to do. You can have vague romantic notions about doing that, but in actuality, it can be a terrifying thing.
I think it's important to understand the concrete ways things work and to respect that. But some things shouldn't be explained, and you have to respect that, too.
There is only one thing I respect in so-called Broadway actors... and that is their competitive sense.
Smile, for everyone lacks self-confidence and more than any other one thing a smile reassures them.
Giving back is the right thing to do, whether it's donating clothing or even just a smile to someone who needs it.
Sports are my favorite. It's the first thing I turn to every day.
That's one thing you learn in sports. You don't give up; you fight to the finish.
If there's one thing I could attribute my strength to, I would say it's the gift of laughter, which I inherited from my mother's side.
I love nice things - I consider Ralph Lauren sheets to be a necessity, not a luxury - but I've known what it's like to be poor.
If you think back to your first love, you always remember them and little things always remind you of them.
The definition of a stupid thing is something that if you do everything right, you still get hurt. Fire-eating and love are stupid things.
I like to make money; I like to have nice things. But I love to act; I love to tell stories.
