Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts.

I've succeeded beyond my wildest dreams - financially and the amount of fun I have in my life.

I think L.A.'s terrific. You fly an hour and a half and you're in the mountains in three feet of powder. I also think it's a much better city if you're working as an actor. If you're not working and you don't see your dreams coming true there can be a lot of heartache.

People don't think their dreams amount to much but when I ask them to examine them for common themes they surprise themselves at how accurate they are! They see that their dreams have value.

Even having to do the amount of press that I have to do is dreadful and gives me so much anxiety. After having done this whole slew of press for 'Big Love ' now I'll have anxiety dreams for like a week and a half about all the stupid things I said.

Ocean is more ancient than the mountains and freighted with the memories and the dreams of Time.

In regards to being a fashion aficionado there's a certain amount of taking yourself seriously in the professional world. The self-effacing person can't completely go down the serious road. But I design and love when things are beautiful.

Most of us harbour a significant amount of subconscious fear about death and act out of this fear in our daily lives.

My father's death my move and my frightening and difficult delivery created a tremendous amount of stress pain and sadness for me. I was practically devastated beyond recovery.

Death is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time.

There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.

I also turn down what's probably a good amount of coinage to be made out of playing dads an incredible number of obnoxious dad.

So I go to my first book signing and these two girls came up and gave me a piece of paper: '10 reasons you should date our dad. He climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. He's a lawyer.' He didn't know what was going on. He didn't even know me. They called him and he came down and asked me out that day. Now I'm dating their dad!

I didn't really hear any other music other than what my dad was working on until I was 12. My recollection of hearing other music was that I liked some things that I heard but I always thought 'Where's the rest of it?' It didn't have the same amount of detail or instrumentation or imagination in the arrangements.

People who build family businesses are not classically trained. They have to deal with an enormous amount of politics. You think corporate politics are tough? Go work for your dad or your mom.

Overcoming my dad telling me that I could never amount to anything is what has made me the megalomaniac that you see today.

The one thing I learned the most about acting is it takes a tremendous amount of courage to go there and stand still. It takes courage and guts to step out of your mind frame and depict something.
