Brad Pitt

I didn't realize how interesting the place I come from is until I left home and saw how other cultures handled things differently. ”

When I first started, they were trying to get me into sitcoms - I think because I had that kind of Wonder Bread look and my hair always went into place. I kept saying, 'I'm not good at sitcoms. I don't know how to do that.' ”

So much of making movies is about discovery on the day, what you're figuring out. If you know everything going in, then it's not worth doing - it's already done. ”

My happiest moment is the day they call wrap and I'm free. I'm not looking back. ”

My kids are just waiting for me at home. I'm their father. They're wondering, 'When's Daddy coming home?' ”

I guess I just don't see America as separate from Vietnam or Ethiopia. This mentality of 'our team's better than yours' - it's a high school idea. My kids don't see those dividing lines, and I don't want to either. ”

In some ways, I'm still a kid from Missouri and Oklahoma, and I'm trying to find my way. ”

One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom. She is such a great mom. Oh, man, I'm so happy to have her. ”

I'm 48 now and whatever I get music-wise, I get from my kids and that's it. I don't think I'll ever be hip again! ”

I'm much more experienced now, so I can find films that are interesting quicker and cut out the films that don't really matter. It means more to me now because my kids are going to see them, and I want them to be proud. ”
