Expose yourself to your deepest fear after that fear has no power and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.

In New York after that famous home run they expected me to be up there every year. That homer raised me to a high level with the top guys in the game.

Few if any teenagers can relate to getting up for school and finding famous comics like Pryor and Williams hanging out in your living room after a hard night of partying. But that's Hollywood.

People seldom become famous for what they say until after they are famous for what they've done.

Normally I name my characters after famous comedians.

Thus after finishing high school I started with high expectations and enthusiasm to study chemistry at the famous Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.

No matter how famous and established they were or however blessed they were with great songs or long careers if they lived alone they lived alone. That's not the way I wanted to live prior to the tour or after.

Kids will keep it real. If I've ever had in my life a great anchor it's them. They get in your head 'don't get too famous.' If you think you're really famous and think you're really hip go hang out with your kids for an afternoon. That's about as earthbound as it's going to get.

I don't ever want to be hugely famous because I had a little taste of it after 'East Is East' and 'Bend It.'

Uncle Brett had a definite vision that he was after I don't think having a famous father affected him much.

I studied Japanese language and culture in college and graduate school and afterward went to work in Tokyo where I met a young man whose father was a famous businessman and whose mother was a geisha.

I've always had confidence. Before I was famous that confidence got me into trouble. After I got famous it just got me into more trouble.

After 'Skins' I became mildly famous which was a bit of a disaster.

I hear the way people talk about the children of famous people. They're not treated very well. The presumptions are usually quite awful. So I tried to establish myself with a couple of movies. After 'Juno' I thought: 'I think I've defined myself enough as my own director that I'd love to work with my father.'

Dates with actors finally just seemed to me evenings of shop talk. I got sick of it after a hile. So the more famous I became the more I narrowed down my choices.

After a fellow gets famous it doesn't take long for someone to bob up that used to sit by him in school.

If there's anything more mortifying than being famous at 14 it's being washed up right after.

I put my money in the bank: I have to think of life after modeling when I'm not famous any more.

The importance of human life should be universally respected - and that refers to children before they are born and after. All children have the right to be brought up in a loving two-parent family where the notion of divorce is not even possible.

When I'm home the heart and soul of our family is in the kitchen. Growing up my parents both worked so dinnertime was for family - the TV was off. I think it's important to grab that time and really make it special even after a tough day.

I love film. After a yummy meal for the whole family and some truly great friends we often go out to see something beautiful and unique.

While I have felt lonely many times in my life the oddest feeling of all was after my mother Lucille died. My father had already died but I always had some attachment to our big family while she was alive. It seems strange to say now that I felt so lonely yet I did.

Coming home to my family afterward makes the work richer easier and more fun.

I used to be a classic workaholic and after seeing how little work and career really mean when you reach the end of your life I put a new emphasis on things I believe count more. These things include: family friends being part of a community and appreciating the little joys of the average day.
