I've always been a big proponent of not working for the sake of working, because I don't want to work for the rest of my life - I want to live.

As an actor, you travel so much. It isn't great for a marriage.

You can’t get mad at a bear for being racist. You can’t get mad at a bear for being offensive. It’s not real.

For me, my lack of patience in real life - I have always had very little patience. It's been very much my downfall in life. But having a child puts it in perspective. Very quickly you're like, "Oh, I need to learn what patience is."

I wanted to just surround myself with people who I think are better than I am, whether they're actors or directors or producers, so that I could learn from them.

Another important thing to learn is that kids have a personality that has nothing to do with you.

You always want to challenge yourself and work with people you respect. You can't always go by genres, but it's always fun to challenge yourself.
