My kids have a competitive drive I never had growing up.

You've got to want it. I can give you a role. I can't give you a career.

I was 12 years old when I had my first job, delivering packages.

But my kids, my brothers' kids - they think about trying to top what we did.

Marriage has been a way of attempting to ensure the replication of power and wealth from one generation of another, passing it down from men to men.

So many of my favorite stories, in any medium, are about friendship. Those relationships are so often just as emotional and complex as any romantic or family dynamics, and yet there's a dearth of resonant, grounded films about platonic bonds in American films.

When you are the lead in a romantic comedy, you have to worry about people really liking you.

The secret to a long marriage is to stay gone.
