Happy Birthday Brad Pitt!

In Missouri, where I come from, we don't talk about what we do - we just do it. If we talk about it, it's seen as bragging.

Meine Frau ist die Heimat, die ich mir immer gewünscht habe.

I have a hard time with morals. All I know is what feels right, what's more important to me is being honest about who you are. Morals I get a little hung up on.

Ich will meine Zeit nicht länger verschwenden, sondern sie mit den Leuten, die ich liebe, verbringen.

Success is a beast. And it actually puts the emphasis on the wrong thing. You get away with more instead of looking within.

Stille soll man nicht mit Unsinn füllen.

I'm one of those people you hate because of genetics. It's the truth.

Ich mußte mit Rauchen aufhören. Zuerst vermißte ich die Zigaretten wirklich. Der Entzug war so hart, daß ich bereit war zu töten.

Man, when I'm riding with the helmet on, I'm invisible. And people just deal with me as the guy on the bike... it gives you a chance to read 'em.

Was mich an der Schauspielerei frustriert, ist, dass ihr nicht gelingt, was die Musik kann: Gefühle nicht nur zu reproduzieren, sondern neue zu schaffen.

I'm satisfied with making true choices and finding the woman I love, Angie, and building a family that I love so much.

Männer werden im nächsten Jahr kurze Röcke tragen, das prophezeie ich.

I would love to work in a Bollywood film as there is so much drama and colour in the films there.

My father came from a very poor background, but I was very fortunate in the sense that we were never in need. My dad was determined to make sure that we didn't want for things. He wanted to give us more opportunity than he had, a better shot at a better life.

I don't feel restless, I just like to travel.

It's a lovely experience walking around a museum by yourself.

Heartthrobs are a dime a dozen.

My life has been about big changes.

I grew up on certain movies, particular movies that said something to me as a kid from Missouri, movies that showed me places I'd yet traveled, or different cultures, or explained something, or said something in a better way than I could ever say. I wanted to find the movies like that.

I grew up in Oklahoma and Missouri, and I just loved film. My folks would take us to the drive-in on summer nights, and we'd sit on the hood of the car. I just had this profound love for storytelling.

'The Assassination of Jesse James' remains one of my favorite films that I've done. You know, it's still labeled a loser.

When you first get opportunities, suddenly you get surrounded by a lot of people who want to make money off you but also are there to help. But they start telling you so much what you need to be and what you need to do to maintain some idea of career maintenance.

When I first moved to L.A., I discovered Roy London. I didn't know anything about the arts, the profession; I had no technique, I knew nothing, I'm fresh from Missouri. I sat in on a few classes, and they just felt a little guru-ish and just didn't feel right to me. Until I met Roy.

Being married means I can break wind and eat ice cream in bed.

I'm 48 now and whatever I get music-wise, I get from my kids and that's it. I don't think I'll ever be hip again!

Perhaps we don't need these religious concoctions to pillow the fear of death. Just the fact that there is an unknown, and something greater, can bring a feeling of peace. That's enough for me.

I have very few friends. I have a handful of close friends, and I have my family, and I haven't known life to be any happier.

My kids are just waiting for me at home. I'm their father. They're wondering, 'When's Daddy coming home?'

It's a violent world we live in. I don't agree with trying to hide that or cover it up.

I'm much more experienced now, so I can find films that are interesting quicker and cut out the films that don't really matter. It means more to me now because my kids are going to see them, and I want them to be proud.

When I was a boy, I would ask about my family history, about my bloodlines. We really didn't know that much. We had a little Indian in us from the Oklahoma Trail of Tears.

You must lose everything in order to gain anything.

Actions speak louder than words, and it's no more true than with your kids.

I believe you make your day. You make your life. So much of it is all perception, and this is the form that I built for myself. I have to accept it and work within those compounds, and it's up to me.

I've always been at war with myself, for right or wrong.

A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss... That's the trade-off. But I'll take it all.

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.

My happiest moment is the day they call wrap and I'm free. I'm not looking back.

I loved 'Saturday Night Fever' when I was a kid. I couldn't believe people talked that way. It was just a whole new culture I didn't understand. I snuck into it. It was an R-rated film. So it holds a special place.

I had a friend who worked at a hospice, and he said people in their final moments don't discuss their successes, awards or what books they wrote or what they accomplished. They only talk about their loves and their regrets, and I think that's very telling.

When you see a person, do you just concentrate on their looks? It's just a first impression. Then there's someone who doesn't catch your eye immediately, but you talk to them and they become the most beautiful thing in the world. The greatest actors aren't what you would call beautiful sex symbols.

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.

By the time this concert ends this evening, 30,000 Africans will have died because of extreme poverty. By this time tomorrow evening, another 30,000. This does not make sense.

America is a country founded on guns. It's in our DNA. It's very strange but I feel better having a gun. I really do. I don't feel safe, I don't feel the house is completely safe, if I don't have one hidden somewhere. That's my thinking, right or wrong.

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

I phoned my grandparents and my grandfather said 'We saw your movie.' 'Which one?' I said. He shouted 'Betty, what was the name of that movie I didn't like?

When I received my first paycheck from my now known day job, I spent it on a period Craftsman chair and a Frank Lloyd Wright-wannabe lamp. With my second paycheck, I bought a stereo.

I oscillate between agnosticism and atheism.

By nature, I keep moving, man. My theory is, be the shark. You've just got to keep moving. You can't stop.

I grew up very religious, and I don't have a great relationship with religion.

I had a very supportive family environment that gave me room to explore and discover things about myself.

I always thought that if I wanted to do a family, I wanted to do it big. I wanted there to be chaos in the house.

I look and there's our boy from Vietnam and our daughter from Ethiopia, and our girl was born in Namibia, and our son is from Cambodia, and they're brothers and sisters, man. They're brothers and sisters and it's a sight for elation.

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

One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom. She is such a great mom. Oh, man, I'm so happy to have her.
