There are so many things in this life that I want to do and I can't do them all.

You learn something from everything you do. With every project I've ever done, I've always treated it like I'm still in school.

I didn't really like my birthday as a kid. My mother used to say, "Sometimes we'd have a birthday party and you would just wander off." But she said it was just my way in the world. It wasn't anything that I was truly interested in.

My dad worked very hard for the money he made, and my mom worked very hard to keep this household up and running and all the kids fed and everything. And she did it in a brilliant fashion. They both did. In fact, the work ethic, to me, is so important in this life.

You don't always have to be doing something. The most of something that you can do sometimes is to be in the present doing nothing.

That was the first time I knew I loved him.

Clarity keeps you from boredom.
