couple ideas wrong-person
I always have an idea before we even start the movie because if you hire the wrong person, within a couple of days you're going to know that and you're going to be really panicked.
term my-own only-time
The only times you'll see me in terms of the movie business is when I have to go to the premieres of my own movies. I don't go to see ones that aren't mine because I don't even like going to mine.
kids home pages
If you looked in magazines ... you never see me in those out-on-the-town pages. I'm either at home playing with the kids or I'm working.
father real years
I didn't cry at my father's funeral, and I felt guilty about that. Of course, he got sick not too long after he and I had had that final altercation, and I felt real guilty because of that, too. Then years later, one day, I was probably in my late twenties, early thirties, and I just broke down crying, because I finally got my father.
girl drama school
I got in drama class in high school and I only got in there because there were girls and I thought maybe I could make a grade above a C in something.
father kids way
I can't imagine laying a finger on my kids. I go the other way and probably because my father was so abusive.
dream california people
I'll always consider myself a Southerner. A lot of people put California down, but my dreams were realized there.
thinking california guy
I've lived in California for half of my life. It's weird, everyone thinks of me as this guy who's from the South ... I'm really a Californian.
dad hug my-dad
My dad didn't hug me every day and say he loved me and anything like that.
dad years funeral
At my dad's funeral I didn't cry when my dad died. I did it years later when I forgave him, which I've totally forgiven him and I loved my dad.
teenager book old-testament
When I was a teenager, I read the bible cover-to-cover, and I found the Old Testament, it's a pretty bloody history book.
kids church pay
A lot of kids, when they go to church, they don't really pay much attention to what they're saying or whatever.
mom encouragement sides
My mom is such a big supporter of mine. She still is, and always was. So I got the sort of encouragement from that side of the family.
book writing years
I never wanted to write a book, and people have asked me for years to do it.
