I don't think I'd have been as good as Bruce was. He was a better JFK than I would have been.

I wanted very much to do Traffic and at one point it looked like I was going to work on it. And then, of course, Catherine Zeta-Jones had her relationship with Michael Douglas and it suddenly didn't happen.

I wait and take on projects that I think can work.

The truth is, I just want do things that are original and throw an original spin on them.

I had a difficult time hearing my own inner voice about what I wanted to be in this life, because there were all these perfect examples of what a man actually does. The notion is that he goes to college, gets married and provides. That's what a man does.

When I see my children, and when I see the people who value me, I know how lucky I am.

We all have to have our north star that we fix on and go to, but life is so much about the things that bump into you.
