It felt like I'd been playing second-string football for a long time, when, suddenly, I was playing in the Super Bowl. Even when 'Basic Instinct' was a hit, I still felt like I was running with that ball toward the end zone. It took awhile for me to realize that I was already in the end zone with the ball down and the crowd screaming on its feet.

There's a value to getting the meal on the table every night, and there's a value to being an old-school kind of parent.

Nobody took me too seriously but I was grown up even as a baby.

Real happiness comes from inside. Nobody can give it to you.

I could do nice, but it's just not as much fun. Being nice isn't my biggest goal in life. I'm trying to be honest about who I am, and that's not always nice. I'm not always the world's cheerleader.

People don't change their behavior unless it makes a difference for them to do so.

Watching children grow up, you learn a lot about life and about being a better person - you learn a lot about what's really important in the world and what isn't.
