For every guy, there is an opportunity to be a lot better than he thought he could be. We can't all be the star of the team, but we can be a star in our life. That's where you set your goal.

You cannot train yourself. I feel the same way about Christianity and about what the church is: The church is the gym of the soul.

I'm a patriot of the heart.

Don't be gullible, use life before it uses you. Understand there are no free lunches, and for every action you take, there's a reaction.

When I tried to play characters that strayed from who I am it ended in disaster. People didn't expect me in comedies or musicals.

The one thing in my films, I only kill people who need to be killed, or killers killing killers. And I believe that the violence is very justifiable.

I really have very little aspirations about acting because I think that probably the best things have come and gone. I would like to focus on writing and directing. I love writing and directing even though writing can be incredibly painful and lonely. I get great satisfaction from doing it.
