In grade school I was taught that the United States is a melting pot. People from all over the world come here for freedom and to pursue a better life. They arrive with next to nothing work incredibly hard learn a new language and new customs and in a generation they become an integral part of our amazing nation.

I was given such a great gift. It's a miracle that never stops amazing me and reminding me to give thanks every day. Having a wife and daughter gives me a lot more purpose. I was much more selfish before but now I think about what kind of role model I'll be. I just want to be a better man.

One of the most amazing things I got from the film so much green screen there are so many moments and it really taught me about how important it is to have an intention when flying when going somewhere and having an intention.

Anyone who has played the game professionally you're always taught that the ball is the most important most precious thing so when the ball hits the ground it's always a mad scramble. It's amazing how many times there is a fumble and the person who recovers it initially doesn't walk away with the ball.

George Clooney is a super-human he's just such an amazing human being he taught me how to be a better person and a better actor!

Every now and then I have blissful moments of thanking God for all the amazing things that are happening. When I leave the White House after just meeting Obama or when I see my face on the cover of 'Rolling Stone' or when I meet someone who tells me that their daughter is inspired by me those are moments that are incredibly joyful.

My daughter is in love with Adele. She listens to her every day. To see someone with that much passion and soul move a 9-year-old is amazing and it's magical.

Stevie Ray Vaughan was very intense. Maybe that's what caught everybody's attention. As a player he didn't do anything amazing.

My wife a schoolteacher very disciplined. If you think I'm tough trust me and wait till you see when the children are on the naughty step. It's hilarious. So we decided that I'm going to work like a donkey and provide amazing support for the family.

I've always been shocked and waiting-for-the-other-shoe-to-drop that a girl would ever talk to me let alone want to marry me. They always seem to hold the power to me and from my mother to my wife to my daughter every time I try to really figure them out and think I've got them pegged I pay for it.

Highly educated young people are tutored taught and monitored in all aspects of their lives except the most important which is character building. When it comes to this most universities leave them alone.

It depends on the situation. I mean on one hand there's the argument that people should be left alone on the other hand there's the argument to wade in a stop slaughters in places like Bosnia and Kosovo and what we probably should have done in Rwanda.

In truth I am a single mother. But I don't feel alone at all in parenting my daughter. Krishna has a whole other side of her family who loves her too. And so Krishna is parented by me but also by her grandmother and aunts and cousins and uncles and friends.

I made some friends at Listerine and they taught me a little bit about oral care. That half of adults suffer from oral disease that the number one chronic disease among children is oral disease that we're only taking care of 25% of our mouths when brushing alone and there are more germs in your mouth than there are people on the planet.

It's time to end the cruel slaughter of whales and leave these magnificent creatures alone.

My mother was a professional sick person she took a lot of pain pills. There are many people like that. It's just how they are used to getting attention. I always remember she's the daughter of alcoholics who'd leave her alone at Christmas time.

I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught all the world would be wise since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning understanding patience love openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable.

Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.

We can be tired weary and emotionally distraught but after spending time alone with God we find that He injects into our bodies energy power and strength.

The first crocodile I ever caught was at nine years of age and it was a rescue.

If there is anything I would do differently in my life it is that I would study business more. I'm trying to teach my daughter Chloe at an early age about investing and money so she's not afraid of it.

I believed my story would be helpful to young women my daughter's age who are still in the process of forming themselves as women and in need of encouragement to remain true to themselves.

My parents were really really cool about supporting what I wanted to do at a really young age. I think I was about 10 when I caught the bug. They would drive me down to New York if there were auditions. When I was 12 I did this show on Broadway called 'High Society ' so we moved to New York for the run of that.

Young women from a very young age are taught that life will be easier if you can just turn on the charming smile and say very little and be complacent and docile and sweet.
