Every day that you get up, it's some kind of victory if you're making a good product, or working on a project that can only help mankind.

I would vote for the man who's lived life, who's done different occupations, who's been out in the real world and struggled to make a living, struggled to raise a family, struggled with life as it exists. So I'd vote for experience, honest experience.

You don't always have to have an e-book. You can have a real book. I'd like to see the old way maintain.

My home in Hollywood is not a home. I do a film here, a film there, as they want it. I don't have a relationship. Like, Warner Bros. has a great relationship with Clint Eastwood and takes care of him.

Just because we live in a Christian era doesn't mean we're all Christian, necessarily.
