Dear God, Thank You For My Life.

I Don't Parade My Family Out For Display, Which Is The Way It Will Stay. Yet I Have A Reputation For Being Cooperative With The Press. That's Because When I Do Give An Interview, I'm Willing To Tell The Truth About What I Do For A Living And How Goofy It Is Sometimes - And How Volatile It Can Also Be.

The Pleasure Of Working With Somebody Who's An Actor Is They Don't Waste Time With Stuff That Doesn't Matter.

I Think I'm Lucky That I Had Kids As Spread Out As Much As I Did, 'cause My Son, My Oldest, Was Born When I Was 21. And My Youngest Is 15 Now. He Was Born When I Was 40, You Know?

I Hope My Kids Understand That They're Not Operating In A Normal World. And Yet There Are Principles They Have To Adhere To That Are Normal - Like Decency, Choosing Between Right And Wrong, And Honesty. That's Important Stuff, Whether You're Flying First-class Or Not.

The Same Way That I Know That I'll Never Do A Movie As Good Or As Celebrated As 'forrest Gump,' I Know That I'll Never Do A Movie As Bad As 'bonfire Of The Vanities.'
