I tend to lean toward strong female stories. I want to make things that don't already exist out there.

Going to a party, for me, is as much a learning experience as, you know, sitting in a lecture.

I don't love studying. I hate studying. I like learning. Learning is beautiful.

I'm going to college. I don't care if it ruins my career. I'd rather be smart than a movie star.

In college, my best friends were an offensive lineman, a wide receiver and defensive back. In the pros, when you leave the practice field, players go their separate ways because they are married.

Most kids just follow the cycle. My grandfather didn't finish high school. My father didn't, and I didn't. But you can break the cycle. You can have a successful marriage and be a good father.

If there be a love pure and free from the admixture of our other passions, it is that which lies hidden in the bottom of our heart, and which we know not ourselves.

It's kind of crazy to think that I've now been divorced longer than I was married, but I appreciate the journey, because it brought my ex and I back to a friendship that helped us become great co-parents.
