There's a certain delusional quality that all successful people have to have.

I met my father for the first time when I was 28 years old. I made up my mind that when I had children, my children were going to know who their father was.

The greatest experience I've ever had in a movie theater was watching "Star Wars." It shaped how I look at the world. My imagination was so small before I went in that theater and there was an explosion in my head. I just couldn't figure out how someone came up with it.

Don't let failure go to your heart, and don't let success go to your head.

The execs don't care what color you are. They care about how much money you make. Hollywood is not really black or white. It's green.

The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school. Traditional education is based on facts and figures and passing tests - not on a comprehension of the material and its application to your life.

The desire to be a good father is really innate. There aren't a lot of movies that depict that relationship because men, we have to pretend that we're not that emotional about it.
