I just love making a fool out of myself. I made my living as a clown at kids' parties for about three years.

If you can't help people, then what is the point of being successful?

Sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage

I've always felt that if you back down from a fear, the ghost of that fear never goes away. It diminishes people.

The best part about being married is that feeling of being a team. All couples have ups and downs, so having someone you trust is priceless

I work extremely hard doing what I love, mainly to ensure that I don't have to work extremely hard doing what I hate.

Because I believe actually the more you do something, the less frightening it becomes because you start to realize the outcome is not as important as you think.

I think adoption is a blessing all around when it's done right.

I'm quite a competitive person, so I do quite like to win.

I meditated before I hosted the Oscars, I meditate before I go on stage, I meditate in the morning and lunchtime when I'm on a film set.

Your wife is always right. Very simple. I think I'm going to get it tattooed on my forehead.

To get down to the quick of it, respect motivates me - not success.

I'd sell my soul for a good cause.

I treat auditions like I treated my first dates. It's an opportunity to get to know a stranger and to learn from each other.

I'm an actor who believes we all have triggers to any stage of emotion. It's not always easy to find but it's still there.

I can live with failure if it is born of conviction.

With age, you see people fail more. You see yourself fail more. How do you keep that fearlessness of a kid? You keep going. Luckily, I'm not afraid to make a fool of myself.
