You don't really get to choose who you fall in love with. Love chooses you.

I'd say that 'Tree of Life' is not a Christian so much as a spiritual film.

I see religion more as a truck stop on your way to figuring out who you are.

I quit, and then I started again, and then I quit, and then I started again.

I always heard criticism is the tax on fame. They were right. And then some.

I always liked those moments of epiphany, when you have the next destination.

I get enraged when people start telling other people how to live their lives.

Fame makes you feel permanently like a girl walking past construction workers.

I grew up very religious, and I don't have a great relationship with religion.

New Orleans has a real spirit. It's the most authentic of all American cities.

Basically when you whittle everything away, I'm a grown man who puts on makeup.

Stop being perfect, because obsessing over being perfect stops you from growing.

My happiest moment is the day they call wrap and I'm free. I'm not looking back.

I spent the '90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony.

I was hiding out from the celebrity thing, I was smoking way too much [marijuana].

I think someone's conversation, whether in e-mail or in person, should be private.

Your shame will be your torture, and your torture will be your life. I wish it long.

I certainly feel injustice. I'm no foreigner to that, whether it's real or perceived.

Do you know how you tell real love? It's when someone else's interest trumps your own.

I could really try new things. That was satanism, it works really well, I made a pact.

It's a violent world we live in. I don't agree with trying to hide that or cover it up.

I die really well, by the way. It's one of my strong points. I just take a bullet well.

I think happiness is overrated. Satisfied, at peace-those would be more realistic goals.

In some ways, I'm still a kid from Missouri and Oklahoma, and I'm trying to find my way.

Man, if I can get a burp out of that little thing I feel such a sense of accomplishment.

I keep hearing I'm a crazy party guy... I'm not. I'm boring... At least by party standards.

I think L.A. is impossible. There's just too much media focus. You can't live a normal life.

There's peace in understanding that I have only one life, here and now, and I'm responsible.

I think L.A. is impossible. There's just too much media focus. You can't live a normal live.

There are no Hallmark cards that define the next chapter, or the value of a history together.

You just have to get one misstep - that's an easy way to fall into caricature. Bad caricature.

What we're seeing now is that greed is still alive and kicking, and banks are bigger than ever.

Once you hit 40, you start reexamining the math of it all. I'll trade wisdom for youth any day.

I would love to work in a Bollywood film as there is so much drama and colour in the films there.

Given a chance, I would like to work with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan because she's a versatile actor.

The scouts [in "Moneyball"] could lend an authenticity that's even beyond what we had on the page.

The last Bollywood movie I watched was 3 Idiots that featured Aamir Khan in it. It was impressive!

I got into [producing] to be part of stories that wouldn't necessarily be right for me as an actor.

The woman is the reflection of her man. If you love her to the point of madness, she will become it

For me a film is at its best when you can start filling in the story with your own life experience.

My main concern is quality and I think there is quality to be found in all categories of filmmaking.

No more excuses. I can't blame anything on my parents. I'm responsible for my mistakes and my choices.

My kids are just waiting for me at home. I'm their father. They're wondering, 'When's Daddy coming home?'

I had a very supportive family environment that gave me room to explore and discover things about myself.

By nature, I keep moving, man. My theory is, be the shark. You've just got to keep moving. You can't stop.

I start asking a lot of questions about my own life, and it's not necessarily fun, but it's a good exercise.
