Things go wrong for me, all the time, with technology. I'm not familiar enough with it, and I'm too old school a brain to be able to figure it out. I'm dumb. Anything that I have to attack with my thumbs, for any period of time, makes me feel stupid. So, I try to avoid it, as much as possible, to protect my thumbs.

When I got the job, I was sure that I wasn't going to get the job because Tom Cruise almost got the job.

I condition myself to believe that once the scene is done, once the movie is done, my job is done, and whatever happens after that is none of my business.

I don't think anybody's necessarily ready for death. You can only hope that when it approaches, you feel like you've said what you wanted to say. Nobody wants to go out in mid-sentence.

For a long time I tried to manage an honesty and openness about my personal life because I’m human and I’m normal – well, semi-normal.
