The best moments can't be preconceived. I've spent a lot of time in editing rooms, and a scene can be technically perfect, with perfect delivery and facial expression and timing, and you remember all your lines, and it is dead.

The latitude and longitudinal lines of where you are born determine your opportunity in life, and it's not equal. We may have been created equal, but we're not born equal. It's a lot to do with luck and you have to pass that on.

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

What's valuable to me has become clearer as I've got older. To me, it's about the value of your time and your day and the value of the people you spend it with.

With sons and fathers, there's an inexplicable connection and imprint that your father leaves on you.

Seeing the world is the best education you can get. You see sorrow, and you also see great spirit and will to survive.
