Sometimes things in life happen that allow us to understand our priorities very clearly. Ultimately you can see those as gifts.

Italian culture is so deeply soaked in an appreciation of the good things in life.

I've got no problems with my age. I rejoice in the knowledge I have accrued and savor the greatest moments, because I know how fast it goes.

I'm living every ten-year-old boy's fantasy. The other day, Chris and I had this big scene where we had to pull out our guns, and I was thinking, 'Here we are in New York City - a place where every actor wants to be - and we are literally playing cops and robbers. How great is that?'

I'm a big believer that your word is your wand. You know how people say things like, 'Oh my gosh, I'm such an idiot.' I don't say things like that anymore. Those put-downs, even if they're in jest, are little bullets of negativity that you don't need in your life.

Becoming a parent erased many of my negative childhood feelings and filled them in with something new.

I look at all the things life has allowed me to do, and I feel like the luckiest person in the world.
