As an actor, you don't become Meryl Streep by doing the same type of comedy. You get there by being challenged.

Where I'm from, you learned about God before you learned to read and write. Our faith is what grounds us.

At 21, you can live life with reckless abandon, as reckless as your abandon is. Then, at 30, there's something there are the supposed to be's. You're like, "I'm supposed to be doing this. I'm supposed to be doing that." You start measuring your life by what you think you're supposed to be doing. Having recently turned 40, it's like, "What the hell?! Why am I worried about what I'm supposed to be doing? What do I want to do?" You become fine with wherever the road takes you.

You cannot live to please everyone else. You have to edify, educate and fulfill your own dreams and destiny, and hope that whatever your art is that you're putting out there, if it's received, great, I respect you for receiving it. If it's not received, great, I respect you for not.

I'm not a fan of 'Gone With the Wind.' I didn't like the movie. I didn't like the book.

I'm starstruck everyday. The day I'm not starstruck, I'll have to retire.

To be silent is to be passive.
