The jealousy I feel twards Orlando Bloom exists on many levels..
You get so inspired by others. Look at Angelina Jolie and all she does. I'm so excited about this project of hers,
I was really short. I remember going to the doctor to see if there were injections I could take to be taller. But whenever we ran a lap, I wanted to run the fastest. I don't know why, on the wheel of fortune of personality traits, it stopped on ambition and hustle and drive.
I'm so over-earnest sometimes. But my parents were pop-culture icons in the Sixties, and my mom has this Oscar, and I was trying to figure out, how am I going to leave my mark?
It's shocking how sophisticated little kids can be, when it comes to behaving in a professional manner, and that's a credit to their parents.
My diet is always terrible, unfortunately. I don't know moderation.
There is nothing as special as watching greatness.
My wife is very patient. On our honeymoon in 1992, we got a motor home and drove from L.A. to Idaho and then down the coast. I was running a lot, then so she would drop me off, drive six miles, park and wait for me.
I'm like the universe; either expanding or contracting at any given moment. The most that I had put on was about 35, 36 pounds, and I've taken all of that off
The filmmakers who I'm pining to work for aren't ringing my phone off the hook
Every day you've got running shoes on, it's a good day.
It's in our own lives, every single day, whether we recognize it as funny at the moment or not.
I definitely loved going on stage, I loved the nervous feeling and the performance and the doing-ness of it. It always felt kind of natural and inevitable and logical.
I was about 14, and my friend's stepdad asked me to do a 10K with him because his son - who was more into basketball - didn't want to. It was amazing, and I still remember the time I got: 48:23.
