idols tv-shows creating
We're not encouraging idols other than on the TV show, you know and that's the wrong way to do it. If we had become famous from a contest show we'd be embarrassed in my generation. But if that's the benchmark then I thought well young people who want to be filmmakers, or musicians, or whatever are screwed. But maybe they're not because what they're doing is they're creating their own thing.
heart eye winning
Being perfect is not about that scoreboard out there. It's not about winning. It's about you and your relationship with yourself, your family and your friends. Being perfect is about being able to look your friends in the eye and know that you didn't let them down because you told them the truth. And that truth is you did everything you could. There wasn't one more thing you could've done. Can you live in that moment as best you can, with clear eyes, and love in your heart, with joy in your heart? If you can do that gentleman - you're perfect!
mean thinking shoes
When people wear shoes that don't fit them, it says something about their soul. Generally, I think it means they are good people.
sad sadness men
Man, I was drowning in sadness. And Angelina, she lifted me right up out of there.
book years comic
If you're 25 years old dressed up like Superman at a comic book convention, that's great. If you're 78 and you're doing it, something's wrong.
writing thinking people
People think you have to be tortured or miserable to write, but I'm finding that I get inspired a lot more these days before I'm happy.
pounds pork seven
I’m not much of a drinker, so I’m going to eat seven pounds of pork.
experience one-time
I've danced one time in my life. It was the most mortifying experience I ever had.
dream kids writing
Acting is playing - it's actually going out on a playground with the other kids and being in the game, and I need that. Writing satisfies that part of myself that longs to sit in my room and dream.
couple block sides
Every couple I know has side-by-side grave plots, but when we do it we're the biggest weirdos on the block.
movie real winning
If Michelle Pfeiffer gave Mel Gibson a vial of blood to wear around his neck in a movie you'd think it was terribly romantic, everyone would cry and they'd win awards. But in real life if someone does that they'd be considered weird.
kissing kiss-my-ass ass
I figured I would have to tell someone to kiss my ass before it was all over, and I have -- twice.
jobs responsibility thinking
Directing is a big responsibility to take on. I think I'm only good at doing things I know very well. I don't direct movies because I get offered the new vampire movie or science fiction movie. I don't get offered those, anyway, but if I did, I would just tell 'em, "Look, I'm the wrong guy." I only do things about people and situations, and I do the ones that I think I'm the best guy for the job on, which is usually something I generate myself.
beautiful real nice
Everything is very convenient now and it would be real nice if somehow people started going back to the movie theater. And it's people of my generation. It's their fault in a lot of ways, people over 40. It's their fault that the only movies are about robots and beautiful vampires. It's wild, all vampires are beautiful.
