For me a film is at its best when you can start filling in the story with your own life experience.

You know I've been in these tabloids for years now. And at some point you just become a Zen master of it all. Most of these stories, you get probably 2 percent real fruit juice and the rest is just garbage with no nutritional value.

I don't feel restless, I just like to travel.

My kids are just waiting for me at home. I'm their father. They're wondering, 'When's Daddy coming home?'

My father came from a very poor background, but I was very fortunate in the sense that we were never in need. My dad was determined to make sure that we didn't want for things. He wanted to give us more opportunity than he had, a better shot at a better life.

There are no secrets at our house. We tell the kids, 'Mom and Dad are going off to kiss.' They go, 'Eww, gross!' But we demand it.

New Orleans has a real spirit. It's the most authentic of all American cities.
