And of course to work with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton, and work with a wonderful, beautiful script directed by Nancy Meyers, it was really for me a dream come true.

The goal for me is always to have the opportunity to work in different genres. This is a great and exciting time in my career, where I can have the opportunity to work in different genres, and also I recognize there’s not a lot of actors who have that opportunity and I’m grateful for it.

I’ve been fortunate. I don’t pick scripts. Scripts pick me.

In this day and age, when you can use a machine or computer to simulate or emulate what people can do together, it still can’t replace the magic of four people in a room playing.

I rely on other people every day of my life.

I’m not a genius. I need other people to get the perfect information. When we have this, we will decide to sign or sell a player.

I sincerely hope I can contribute to the progress there has been in relations between Jews and Catholics since the Second Vatican Council in a spirit of renewed collaboration.

What we achieve individually is important but it’s never ever more than the team does.

There are no problems we cannot solve together, and very few that we can solve by ourselves.

To explain all nature is too difficult a task for any one man or even for any one age. ‚Tis much better to do a little with certainty & leave the rest for others that come after you.

I’d like to do a completely off-the-wall collaboration. I would like one of my songs to be the hook to a rap song. That would be so much fun!

I never did anything alone. Whatever was accomplished in this country was accomplished collectively.

The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people.

It takes a smart man to play dumb.

When you have that respect from your teammates, it makes it a lot more comfortable.

I have a good team. It’s good to have a good team.

No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.

I was planning to go into architecture. But when I arrived, architecture was filled up. Acting was right next to it, so I signed up for acting instead.

It’s much more fun to play something you’re nothing like than what you are… It’s much easier to hide yourself in a character.

There’s been a lot of talk about Jack White wanting to work with me, and I’ve always admired him, and of course, he lives in Nashville, too.

Software innovation, like almost every other kind of innovation, requires the ability to collaborate and share ideas with other people, and to sit down and talk with customers and get their feedback and understand their needs.

Writing a song is so personal. You have to have trust in someone you’re working with; otherwise, you’re not gonna come out with something that’s really you.

Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.

There are a whole bunch of roles where people say, ‚Oh, you’re playing yourself.‘ I guess it’s kind of a compliment. Or people say, ‚Oh, man, you just roll out of bed and do that.‘ The work is to make it look effortless. That’s the hard part.

I’ve played real people before, but I never knew them.

I’m not the smartest fellow in the world, but I can sure pick smart colleagues.

Having the support from everyone, the bosses, whoever within the team, definitely makes it much easier for me as a driver.

I don’t want a brat on my team.

I am confident that partnering my Dollywood Company with a great company like Gaylord will create something truly special.

I’ve been pleased to work with so many wonderful stars through the years. This has been an amazing journey. I hope it continues.

The great thieves lead away the little thief.

If you ever go to a music session, you’ll notice that the musicians can sit down and start playing right away, and everyone knows what to do. Of course they’re reading it, but the conductor can tweak little things, and you can take that back to directing motion pictures.

To be announced as a race driver for McLaren is a dream come true.

I like talking. I like acting.

There is a need for aloneness, which I don’t think most people realise for an actor. It’s almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you’ll let the whole world in on only for a moment, when you’re acting. But everybody is always tugging at you. They’d all like sort of a chunk of you.

The day-to-day making of policy is arguing all the time. You’re trying to get the right approach and the right answer, and there are moments that aren’t very pleasant. But in the end, you look at the overall product.

Writers have to put up with this editor thing; it is ageless and eternal and wrong.

We have a very open culture at the company, where we foster a lot of interaction between not just me and people but between everyone else. It’s an open floor plan. People have these desks where no one really has an office. I mean, I have a room where I meet with people. But it has all glass, so everyone can see into it and see what’s going on.

No cricket team in the world depends on one or two players. The team always plays to win.

Movies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage.

Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.

My friend James Cameron and I made three films together – True Lies, The Terminator and Terminator 2. Of course, that was during his early, low-budget, art-house period.

China and the U.S. need each other very badly. Yes, we should argue about some things, but it’s not an ‚us versus them,‘ it’s an ‚us and them‘ type scenario.

When you’re supposed to be close and friends in the film, the moment you’re talking as friends off the set, it makes it that much better when you’re filming.

I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the make-up made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked onto the stage he was fully born.

Do not be afraid to ask for help. Nobody gets through college on their own.

I would love to get Rihanna on a Khaled song. That’s my friend, but every time I’m around her, I get shy.

Like any creative human being, I would like a bit more control so that it would be a little easier for me when the director says, ‚One tear, right now,‘ that one tear would pop out.

I have a producing partner named Stephen Hamel, and we’ve been trying to generate material.

It’s really fun to put yourself into a character – into shoes you wouldn’t normally be in.

Stand-up can take you in so many different places, man. So many doors can be opened up from stand-up comedy, and the first one that was opened up for me was acting.

I want to show audiences I can act.

Our nation must come together to unite.

You can’t choose up sides on a round world.
