Sure, I can get a little bit jealous. The good part about jealousy is that it comes from passion. It's also the dangerous part and it's an ugly emotion that hurts.Collection: Jealousy
I've been in a couple of weddings where the coolest people that were the most day before so mellow and then the day of the wedding freaking out.Collection: Wedding

For me, one of the toughest things about Valentine's Day is that it gets geared up as the day to profess your love. See, T-E-S-T - that's a bad word that doesn't go with L-O-V-E.Collection: Valentines
Any artist, the work you do, if it's a painting or if it's a performance, you hope it translates to a common denominator with the people that they see something in their own life in there. Or they see something in somebody else's life. That's what's fun about sharing art.Collection: Hope
We dissect failure a lot more than we dissect success.Collection: Success
I'm a golfer, and what are the two sports you can do till you drop? Golf and surfing. They're great for you limber-wise, they're great for you health-wise, and they put you in sweet locations.Collection: Sports
I've got a great sense of humor, and if I'm able to say or do something in a movie that people feel like they want to repeat, that's hugely flattering.Collection: Humor
The best advice comes from people who don't give advice.Collection: Best
I know when I grew up, it was, if it was daylight outside, get outside. Well, now, with the technological age of computers and everything, everyone's inside virtually going everywhere they want to go, virtually having relationships, virtually traveling across the neighborhood, virtually going to that island.Collection: Computers
I personally don't like to go see romantic comedies. But people do want to see them, and they seem to want to see me in them.Collection: Romantic
The male is always the pawn in a romantic comedy. Come together, break up, go chase her, get her, roll credits. That's what happens in all of them.Collection: Romantic
A coach, especially at a college level - much more at a college or high school level, than at a pro level - you're more of a teacher than an actual coach.Collection: Teacher
There's a gap between what I want to do, what I do on camera, and what gets edited. Right? So the goal is to try and close the gaps. What's the biggest compliment is if I read a review and it's exactly what I wrote down in my diary before ever filming it. That's really cool. That's the biggest signifier of closing the gaps.Collection: Cool
See, 'A Time to Kill' was the one I got famous off of. Big ka-boom, over one weekend. After that, I did films that I really wanted to do.Collection: Famous
I don't dislike any of my exes. If I took time to form a relationship, it's gonna hurt when we move on, but are you puttin' White-Out over all that beautiful time together? That was real time in your life. It's connected to where you are today.Collection: Relationship
There aren't many things that are universally cool, and it's cool not to litter. I'd never do it.Collection: Cool
I've never been a jealous person, and I've never felt built up by someone else's failure - that's a cheap thrill.Collection: Failure
Man who invented the hamburger was smart; man who invented the cheeseburger was a genius.
Life is a series of commas, not periods.
There's a difference in thinking you are a champion and knowing that you are.
My rule is to break one sweat a day.
My life is the road, man. I need to keep moving.
When I see grace in a woman, that's very sexy. You can tell by how someone moves or their rhythm.
What the heck is true love? I remember feeling, back when I was 12 and 'going' with this girl, 'Is this true love?'
When you have good friends you've been around, every time they talk, you don't give them your full attention. You don't look them in the eye and stop. Half the time, you're listening, half the time, you are ignoring them.
Water's never clumsy.
I don't dabble and spend much mind or time dealing with, I don't know, people's perceptions of me. I truly don't.
I talk to myself all the time. Just make sure you answer.
I don't want to just revolve. I want to evolve. As a man, as a human, as a father, as a lover.
I love having my hands in the dirt. It is never a science and always an art. There are no rules. And if it comes down to me versus that weed I'm trying to pull out of the ground that doesn't want to come out? I know I'll win.
I like the city. I like the concrete. I like big business. I like being a CEO of my own company and having a lot of responsibilities. At the same time, when I can go off with a backpack or off on a surfboard or even off on a run somewhere in the woods - that's where I'm really happy.
My last name is originally Irish. I'm not exactly sure whereabouts it's from, but I've got family branches that were traced back there.
My wife and I don't compete. We know each other's preferences, and we work to provide those for each other. One will take over when the other is faced with something he or she dislikes. That's what friends do.
I like to be able to wear something that is appropriate for wherever the day takes me: to work, on a hike and then out to dinner. I like to take the formality out of the day's schedule and be ready for any off-road detour.
I like having my hands in the clay. I like the movie-making process.
We have a big appetite for putting people down but, at the heart of everyone, there's enough room for all of us to succeed.
I like a good pair of jeans, but I also like putting on a nice tux. I'd rather go around in a good pair of jeans that you don't wash every day, because they get more and more comfortable.
Music is a really great creative tool for me, for different roles.
Now, you lose something in your life, or you come into a conflict, and there's gonna come a time that you're gonna know: There was a reason for that. And at the end of your life, all the things you thought were periods, they turn out to be commas. There was never a full stop in any of it.
The unsaid rule for living in a trailer park is: 'If the door's shut, don't come a-knockin.' But if it's open and you're walkin' by, feel free to say, 'Hello.'
Starting at about, I guess, forever, I've always looked forward to getting older. When I was 14, I couldn't wait to be 16 and get a driver's license.
I think most defense attorneys know, to some extent, their clients are guilty.
I go on The Daily Beast. The Daily Beast is one of the websites that I check out.
I'm one of the most adaptable guys I know in as much as travelling is my favourite thing to do in life. With every place I go, I try to stay there long enough to do it justice, long enough so that I can at least imagine what it would be like to live there. Once I imagine that, then it's OK for me to return home.
If you want your hair to be thicker, cut it when the moon is about to be full - a heavy, full, waxing moon. Do not cut it when the moon's waning.
The challenge for me as an actor is if you become a celebrity, you don't meet strangers anymore. And strangers are where we have our anonymity. And I believe it's essential for the soul to be anonymous, especially if you're going to be an actor.
I will say this: one of the things that is a pain when you're expecting children is how much advice unsolicited people give you when you're not asking for it.
Whether I'm running on the beach without my shirt or whether I'm going out with my kids or going to church or going out to dinner - I don't choose to insulate myself in engaging in real life. Hence, the public kind of almost knows me as much through my real life that they see through the rag mags.
