The human spirit and what it can go through... that's pretty inspiring.
The best advice I ever got - and it's the best advice I'd give anybody - is just don't believe the word 'no.' Be persistent. Persevere. Keep going. Never, ever, ever give up.
I wasn't banned from skiing but didn't go much in college because I couldn't afford it, and there just wasn't the time. I played football all winter, then in summer I did track and field and played volleyball.
I'm not a Trump guy, but I do like what he's done with political speak. He's changed the conversation quite a bit. It's interesting to watch that happen.
Acting with Denzel is like playing tennis with someone that's better than you. You either play better tennis or get blown off the court.
I'm an actor and this is a role I'm playing. But people can get wacky.
There are so many things about playing football that seem to me uniquely American. Anybody can succeed, anybody can play, but you've got to work hard to do it.
I like finishing a movie and having this living, breathing thing.
I get a lot of action scripts. I get low-budget vehicles that will end up right on the video shelf. I want to do movies that I want to talk about, that I'm proud of, but I also want to make a living.
The thing that drives me more than anything else is being a father.
I don't really go down one path. I wouldn't call myself a Buddhist, or a Catholic or a Christian or a Muslim, or Jewish. I couldn't put myself into any organized faith.
I'm a single father, I don't like to be away from my son. So I'll go out, make a film and come back. Repeat. And it's worked out very well for the last 11 years.
I'm not a song and dance man, so you're not going to see me on 'Glee' anytime soon. If you want that show to continue, keep me far away from it.
Hollywood's a very weird place. I think there's less of everything except for attitude.
I don't pick my friends based on politics.
I was a history major at Princeton University; I took exams in war and diplomacy, and I find those things very fascinating.
I always said I was good football player, I'm fine as an actor, but I'm a great dad.
Being a father taught me patience. And it taught me vulnerability. You don't realize how vulnerable you are when you love something else more far more than yourself.
My favorite of all time will always be Christopher Reeve. He'll always be Superman in my eyes.
Whenever I played him, I played Superman as if I had a secret that nobody else knew.
