1 | Once a year my back will go out and it'll be... it's like a sciatic thing and it's the smallest thing. Like I could be leaning over the sink to brush my teeth in a weird way and it happens. |
2 | I've always been the guy who doesn't necessarily get it with women. A woman would have to say, 'I like you, I want to go out with you, you can ask me.' And still I would question it. Did she mean it? |
3 | I want to do movies that I'm proud of where my kids, at some point, can see and I can feel comfortable sitting there watching it with them. And just that move people. That make people feel a little bit better about themselves when they leave the theatre. |
4 | As American as an apple is and as American as baseball is, they don't go together. You can't be chewing an apple at a baseball game. You've got to let go of the diet that day. |
5 | You think school ends when it ends, but it doesn't. |
6 | Teachers have a chance to mold someone, inspire them. I hope all teachers realize that. |
7 | Now I'm starting to jog. But every time I do jog I have 9-1 pressed into my phone, with the next '1' ready to be launched in case I drop. |
8 | My favorite movie of all time is 'Rocky.' |
9 | Just me onstage with a mike having an intimate relationship with the audience. I don't get nervous for that. I just get excited. |
10 | It's always cool to meet people who can do things that you have no capacity to do. |
11 | If I do a movie where I have to have a son and it's a chubby kid, my mother is always like, 'You were never like that.' She gets so upset about it. |
12 | I've always had something in my heart where I root for guys who struggle with women. |
13 | I'm not a Hollywood guy. |
14 | I would always love to be an athlete, but it's got to be a tough day when you have to hang up those cleats. |
15 | I try to connect with the everyday, every guy. |
16 | I took a public speaking class in college and managed to make the class laugh a little bit. |
17 | I think I invented the phrase 'Don't overdo it.' |
18 | I really wasn't a class clown. |
19 | I never played music, but it's an important thing ... the studying, the inspiration. |
20 | I never played a musical instrument growing up but I knew kids who did and took it very seriously. |
21 | I had my boy in Boston on Easter Sunday. That kills me, from a sports perspective. He's a Boston baby and I'm a New York guy. |
22 | I don't want to be known as this goody-two-shoes who can only do comedies where puppies are licking peanut butter off my face. |
23 | I could never be James Bond. |
24 | From there, I tried out for a community theatre play, joined an improv group... it all started opening up. |
25 | For some reason and I don't know why, but I don't think that I'm funny in California. So I always want to do my movies east somewhere. |
26 | Every time I do a movie where it gets physical, I say never again. |
27 | Every few months I'll pop into a comedy club or go to Vegas. |
28 | Back in '93 I saw my first UFC fight and just became enamored by it then. |
29 | A song can take you to a special time in your life. |
30 | I just want to put some positive stuff out there. If it works, great. If it doesn't, no problem. |
31 | I had many teachers that were great, positive role models and taught me to be a good person and stand up and be a good man. A lot of the principles they taught me still affect how I act sometimes and it's 30 years later. |
32 | Thanksgiving, man. Not a good day to be my pants. |
33 | There's no better feeling in the world than a warm pizza box on your lap. |
34 | It was fun because, after shooting, Will and I would eat a jar of pickles and tell each other secrets. It was so much fun! - On Hitch (2005). |
