There are three things, to my account, that I need each day. One of them is something to look up to, another is something to look forward to, and another is someone to chase.

I love it. It's silly to say that it is a world of false and stupid people. Sure there are witches and swindlers, but you can meet there many creative, talented and generous persons too. Hollywood is a pleasant place, when you are hip to the game and you enjoy it for what it is really.

I like having my hands in the clay. I like the movie-making process.

I will say this: one of the things that is a pain when you're expecting children is how much advice unsolicited people give you when you're not asking for it.

The first step that leads to our identity in life is usually not 'I know who I am,' but rather 'I know who I am not.'

I never go online on my iPhone. Sometimes I'm tempted but I remind myself and the kids - it's a tool. Use it as a tool. You're not the tool. My iPhone, 85% of the time I'm writing down ideas.

It's a scientific fact that gratitude reciprocates.
