I didn't like the distance between my family and myself that I was experiencing from having to work all the time.

When you have to fight for the things you love, you have to measure the value of those things in ways you may not in any other way.

But in my heart of hearts, this is the kind of thing... this is what everyone is struggling with in their lives - relationships and family. To me, it's always an interesting area to mine. I'm drawn to it.

A leader in America or anyone who says they truly care about this nation without taking some kind of action is either a liar or insane. In either case, they are unfit to lead.

I always like having kid energy around. I think it's good for a movie, even when you're doing dramatic stuff.

There's a level of trust that you have to have with somebody.

My kids get very upset with me when I leave to do film work, but they have a lot of patience with me when I leave to do environmental work.
