You want to be a writer? Start writing. You want to be a filmmaker? Start shooting stuff on your phone right now.

Each of the films, whether it’s Magic Mike or Dallas Buyers Club, was a challenge for me. I had to dig deeper. Also, my decision to shake things up came after my first child was born. I had taken nearly two years off and I thought that I would enjoy my time as a dad and wait until something interesting came along.

I don’t dabble and spend much mind or time dealing with, I don’t know, people’s perceptions of me. I truly don’t.

Africa is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.

I've never been a manipulator, even in my bachelor days. I never wanted to do things to people that could catch up with me later on.

I've been in a couple of weddings where the coolest people that were the most day before so mellow and then the day of the wedding freaking out.

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.
