You've got to bring your A-game when you're in the same household as a military guy.

I'd like to think that every job and every step I've taken progressed more and more toward the career that I've wanted to have.

When I was 7, we moved to New York because my dad's job was transferred.

I get nervous for any competition. I also get really competitive.

Growth itself contains the germ of happiness.

The joy and the pain for me is about tightroping between being a cynic and being a romantic - the tug between barely believing in anything and hoping for everything.

I always laugh and say, 'Dudes, if I have to choose, I'm a political person first. I would never do another movie again and be completely happy.' I need to say how I feel.

My philosophy is very much to encourage my children to forge their own success and happiness, even though that will undoubtedly involve much more modest levels of wealth creation.
