I'm shy to call myself a director still. When someone says, 'What do you do for a living?' I don't know if I've earned that.

Children teach you so much. You take another look at life when you have a child. Everything is new again for you. They ground you.

The only way to have a life is to commit to it like crazy.

I hide my emotions mainly because you don't want somebody to know that you feel sorry for them, because they will feel worse, or because you don't want someone to know or see your fear. If someone like a sick kid or a burn victim sees your fear, they respond to how you respond. And if you show them it's terrible, they will get upset. It's something I've learned over the years.

I make it a point not to buy certain magazines, not because I am against tabloids or things like that, but I want to fill my mind with valid issues in the world.

I wanna better understand the world I live in, and I wanna be able to learn how to be more effective... I wanna learn and I wanna listen.

The beautiful thing about such moments in life is that there is so much clarity. You know what you live for and what matters.
