Suppose you could be hooked up to a hypothetical 'experience machine' that, for the rest of your life, would stimulate your brain and give you any positive feelings you desire. Most people to whom I offer this imaginary choice refuse the machine. It ...
If you want to freak your cat out, stare at your cat. If you want to reassure your cat, stare at your cat, then very deliberately and very slowly blink. Like that. The cat will also deliberately, slowly blink back at you, and I almost guarantee that ...
I still worry that I could be better. That's where standards come from, from not wanting to settle. The fear of not being good enough propels you.
As soon as I realized you could be funny as a job, that was the job I wanted.
If I wanted you to understand, I would explain it better.
Don't be afraid of silly ideas.
You just have to go after what you want and if it doesn't want you back then so be it; it doesn't deserve you anyways.
You never want to do anything that you don't want your mother to see, because it will haunt you and eventually come back to bite you!
If you decide you want to be treated good, and you treat someone else good, or you want to learn something, it's information. It's getting the right, good information.
You do not succeed because you do not know what you want, but because you don't want it intensely enough.
You want to get better even after people smash you down. You want to be better than you were before.
what's right? If you want something, you have the right to take it. If you want to do something, you have the right to do it.
You start to accumulate your library of music. You want that music everywhere - that's the point where we monetize. If you want portability, mobility, and access, then you buy it.

I remember there was a turning point. I think it came right after 'Forrest Gump' when I turned down the cover of 'Vanity Fair.' That was blasphemy. You just don't do that. And I remember after that not getting a couple of movies that I really wanted ...
I don't want to be an editor! I don't want to direct; I'd be a horrible director. I don't want to write - I have a 'story by' credit on one film I did. And I don't want to edit at all.
I didn't want to play a lawyer. I didn't want to play a doctor. I didn't want to play a single dad. I wanted to do something I felt I could learn from, something that would be a challenge and something that would not dry up.
I don't have one role that I want to play. I guess... I want to be a producer. I want to be an activist. I want to be proactive in bringing about work for men, women, boys, girls, everybody who is good at what they do and deserve a shot at it.
