We all go through the phase where the work is SLOW and aren't sure if what we are doing will have returns in the FUTURE or if it'll reach PEOPLE at all. You can't FIGHT that.

No serious-minded MAN should have TIME for the MEDIOCRE in any PHASE of his LIVING.

There's a PHASE for EVERYONE, where actors NEED to SLOW down and REINVENT themselves.

As I enter a NEW PHASE of LIFE and my CIRCLE broadens, I start LEARNING new things.

Being a grandparent is WHOLE NEW PHASE in your LIFE.

I can't IMAGINE not being in a phase where I'm trying to UNDERSTAND something or CREATE something. That's the ESSENCE of life.

If I have to SCORE baskets then I have to TRY to score baskets and STOP missing shots, but even if it's not going, I need to be able to have ANOTHER phase of the game and not let my OFFENSE take away from my defense or rebounds.

My MOM DIED before she knew I was GAY, and my dad thought it was a PHASE, then realized it wasn't.

After MARRIAGE, I was only concerned about raising my daughter, Ariana. I didn't want to miss her even for a second. I thought that's the best phase of my life, and I was enjoying it, far more than films.
