I'm never going to be Tolstoy.

I stop paying attention because as much as I love beauty, I hate stupidity, and seeing the two combined pisses me off.

I hated being a lawyer and I wanted to like myself and like my job.

My buddies and I, we all went to law school together, and once we started working in different cities, we all did crazy stuff, and we'd write e-mails to each other about the stuff we would do. And my friends thought my e-mails were really funny and they said, "Dude, why don't you put this up on a Web site. You know people would love to read this."

One big lesson I learned from movie [making] was I don't do creative projects that I headline unless I have all the control. I can't deal with having to live with other people's screw ups, and that's just sort of the way the movie business works. The people with the money are in charge. Until I'm in charge, I don't want to play that game.

The haters always scream the loudest.

Failure instructs, failure improves. Failure shouldn't deter you.
