Ultimately, I don't care if people decide that what I'm doing is real or not. . . as long as they understand it isn't EASY.
It's really not a question of how long you have on this earth; it's about what you do with it.
I think about my films for a long time, maybe years, but I write them in days.
The strongest bank in the United States will last only so long as the people will have sufficient confidence in it to keep their money there.
I've never changed my approach to acting. I've always felt like I've gotten better. I think that all of us can get better. I feel like, in my acting, I'm better than I was three pictures ago. I think about it. I'm a slow study. It takes me a long time to grasp the material, in order to perform it. But when I come to the set, on the first day, I know the whole movie. That's why I have to start early.
It was okay for people to write negative things about me just as long as they spelled my name right.
I don't know what I was thinking, coming out here. There are no silver bullets in life, there's just the long, messy climb out of the pit you've dug youself.

Some folks never try to grow beyond lives that have not realized that potential. And as long as they don't regret that, that's fine. Live and let live. But for those who regret never trying, it's a shame because the Web, as complex as it may seem, makes it all possible

I'm a legend because I've survived over a long period of time and still seem to be master of my fate - I'm still paddling the goddamned boat myself.
All our perils are nothing, so long as we have prayer.
Lil Wayne is a person who I think is really deserving of the success he's had. I'm someone who can stay in the studio 24-7, and I've watched him stay in there just as long. He has a creativeness about him that I love.
Well, it was very interesting to play a character and stretch it over such a long time - 12 episodes. I had never done a TV show before, so week to week it was unclear what we would be asked to do.
There are different levels of fame. There are the polite fans who quietly and respectfully approach you and ask for an autograph - and that's acceptable. But the next level. . . when you think you're having a moment of privacy and there's someone with a long lens catching you when you're about to eat, or sunbathe, or worse. . . it's just so intrusive and I think it's part of the sickness of our culture.
Socialized medicine, some still cry, but it's long been socialized, with those covered paying for those who are underinsured. American medicine is simply socialized badly, penny wise and pound foolish.
