Being perfect is not about that scoreboard out there. It's not about winning. It's about you and your relationship with yourself, your family and your friends. Being perfect is about being able to look your friends in the eye and know that you didn't let them down because you told them the truth. And that truth is you did everything you could. There wasn't one more thing you could've done. Can you live in that moment as best you can, with clear eyes, and love in your heart, with joy in your heart? If you can do that gentleman - you're perfect!

Getting the nomination is like gravy. Winning would be like whatever is better than gravy.

I grew up in Arkansas and that's the law. My dad was a high school basketball coach, so I was raised as a coach's son and I was a baseball player back in Arkansas, and I lived in Texas, too, so I was just surrounded by sports. So that's what I was going to do: Pitch for the St Louis Cardinals. I had no idea I was going to be an actor. So I got my collar bone broken in the Kansas City Royals training camp. And once I got hurt I started doing other things for a while.

Every couple I know has side-by-side grave plots, but when we do it we're the biggest weirdos on the block.

If you look at a character as a mountain over there that you have to climb, then I think you've lost 50 percent of the air.

If you love somebody let them know every day.

I figured I would have to tell someone to kiss my ass before it was all over, and I have -- twice.
