Every single director-actor I talked to, from Warren Beatty to Clint Eastwood to George Clooney, said the biggest mistake they made is not shooting enough footage of themselves.

After 2000 or so, I started to realize I wanted to be doing something else. I didn't want to be in front of a camera. I was frustrated. I didn't think I would stop acting, but I didn't want to be seen.

I have a good instinct for what's real and what's not. I don't have to second-guess myself.

(I) try new things and give myself permission to fail and experiment because only that way can you get really successful.

I grew up in a home environment where I wasn't getting esteem for anything I did.

It doesn't matter how you get knocked down in life, because that's going to happen. All that matters is that you gotta get up.

I'm terrible in the kitchen. I was mostly raised by my mother and she could cook, so I never perfected that skill. If I had to count on my own cooking to survive, I'd probably be thinner.
