I know if you talk faster and use more ten-dollar words than everyone around you, you convince half of them that they should shut up because you know what you're talking about.

People never change because they are under threat or under duress. Never. They change because they see something that makes their life seem valuable enough to start moving toward a life worth living.

I used to be so convinced that happiness was the goal, yet all those years I was chasing after it I was unhappy in the pursuit. Maybe the goal really should be a life that values honor, duty, good work, friends and family.

Pick a dysfunction and it's a family problem.

I know very little about acting. I'm just an incredibly gifted faker.

And last but not the least

Sometimes everything you need to know to be an actor in your mid-forties, you learn before you were 15 years old.
