Leapfrog Innovation - Consistent, Constant, Ridiculous Leapfrog Innovation - Only Happens Within A Dictatorship.

I Think That Romance Sort Of Coincides With Effort, So You Can Fall Flat On Your Face, But As Long As You're Making A Great Effort, I Think It Comes Off As Romantic. So It Can Be Something As Simple As, Like, If You're Someone Who Doesn't Cook, You Can Make A Meal.

I Wouldn't Say I'm Personally Trying To Transition From Comedy Into Drama. I Don't Look At Things Like, 'oh, I Need To Do A Drama Now.' I Get A Lot Of Material Sent To Me, And If I Feel Like Something Has The Creative Integrity And The Right Director And The Right Whoever Involved, The Right Actors And Is A Great Story, Then I Do It.

I Think Bitcoins Are Obviously Becoming More And More Relevant.

The Truth Is That I'm An Idiot. I Am. I Don't Do Things By The Rules Sometimes. I Say Things That I Probably Shouldn't Say. I Push Buttons. I Deserve To Be Made Fun Of. And I Feel Like, As Soon As You Can Make Fun Of Something, It Instantly Removes The Fear.

See You On The Other Side, Kid.

How Does Somebody Know What They Want If They Haven't Even Seen It?

What I've Become Good At Is Bringing Things That Aren't Necessarily Mainstream To The Mainstream. What I Did See On Twitter Was A Potential For Mass Publication; It's A Mainstream Consumer Broadcasting Device. It Transforms Customers And Companies. You Have To Be Transparent Or You Fail.

When You Venture At Life With Curiosity, You Can Learn From Anything. You Learn From Things That You Could Never Maybe Thought You Could Learn From.

I'm Serious When I'm Talking To The Press Because I'm Always On Guard Because I Never Know What You're Going To Ask And I Never Know How You're Going To Construe My Answer, So I Try To Maintain A Pretty Even Pace When I'm Speaking With The Media.

I Think I Was Always Able To Laugh A Lot At The Industry - To Be Detached From It, Even If Some Of The Other Models Weren't. Jeez - It's Hardly Rocket Science, Is It? It's Not As If You Can Get To Be A Better Model..... .you Can Either Get Away With It, Or You Cant? And Most Of Them Were Also Acutely Aware Of The Passage Of Time.....and How It Would Affect Their Careers.

There Are A Lot Of Perks That Come With Fame And With Every Positive There's A Negative And Then It All Kind Of Balances Out. The Travelling Is Great.

But It All Kind Of Balances.

I Don't Understand Shopping, It Doesn't Make Any Sense To Me. As Guys, We Decide We Want Something And Then We Go Out And Buy It.

I Was On Facebook. I Was On Myspace. And Somebody Said To Me, You Should Check Out This Thing Called Twitter. I Knew Five People That Were On It, So I Started Following Those People And Seeing What They Were Doing, And Then I Applied My Own Sensibility To It. The More That I Shared, The More People Started Following Me.

In The Movies, You Want A Good Story And Characters That Are Honest, But You Are Also Looking For A Good Director Who Can Lead The Ship. That's How We Look At Business.

I Don't Know That Sex Always Has To Have Feelings, But I Think That Friendship Always Does.

When Your Wife Calls, You Have To Take It, No Matter What You're Doing.

I Think There's So Much That's Not Said About Sex In The United States. Even From An Educational Level. And I Do A Lot Of Work On Human Trafficking And I Connect A Lot With Girls That Come Up And End Up In This Trade And Partially Because Of A Lack Of Education About Sex In The Country.

Working Hard, And Being Thoughtful, And Generous, And Smart; It's A Path To A Better Life.

I Think People Are Having Less Of An Investment In Relationships. It Used To Be That You Meet Someone, You Go On Four Or Five Dates And You Gradually Get To Know Them And Trust Them At The Same Time, And You Learn A Little Bit About Them. Now, It Could Be One Date - Maybe Even Before That First Date - You Go On Facebook Have All The Information.

I'm Continually Trying To Make Choices That Put Me Against My Own Comfort Zone. As Long As You're Uncomfortable, It Means You're Growing.

If You Believe The Good Stuff That People Say Then You Have To Believe The Bad Stuff And Then You Allow Yourself To Be On A Roller Coaster Of What Other People Think. So I Think You Try To Find The Good In The Bad And The Bad In The Good And Balance Yourself And Stay On An Even Keel.

Whether You Like It Or Not, The Digital Age Has Produced A New Format For Modern Romance, And Natural Selection May Be Favoring The Quick-thumbed Quip Peddler Over The Confident, Ice-breaking Alpha Male.

I Actually Used To Be A Front For The Largest National Sports-betting Syndicate In America.

People Are Most Shocked And Most In Disbelief That I Go To The Office Every Day. I Have A Job. When I'm Not Acting On A Movie, I Go To Work, First Thing In The Morning. I'm At Work At 8 O'clock In The Morning, And I Get Home From Work At 7 O'clock At Night. I Treat My Job Like A Job, And I Work At It. I Think People Would Probably Be Most Surprised, If I Ever Calculated Up The Number Of Hours I Work On An Average Week And Published That. If It Was Ever Documented, I Think People Would Be Shocked To Find Out.

I Never Quit My Job Until I Had My Next Job.

Ultimately There's A Dirty Secret About The Internet, Which Is Nothing Disappears. All These Companies Have All Your Information. They Have Your Search History.

I Think Privacy Is Valuable. You Don't Have To Share Everything, And It's Healthy To Occasionally Hit The Pause Button And Ask Yourself If You're Oversharing. But At The End Of The Day, If You're Not Doing Anything Wrong You Don't Have Anything To Hide.

The End Of The Day

Go Work Until You Can Get The Job You That Want To Have.

The Sexiest Thing In The Entire World Is Being Really Smart. And Being Thoughtful And Being Generous. Everything Else Is Crap. I Promise You. It's Just Crap That People Try To Sell To You To Make You Feel Like Less. So Don't Buy It. Be Smart. Be Thoughtful And Be Generous.

My Mom's Whole Side Of The Family, They're All Packers Fans. My Mom's A Bears Fan. My Stepdad Is A Vikings Guy. So That Gets Ugly. My Mom Sits Upstairs Watching The Bears Game; He Sits In The Basement. They Can't Watch It Together. Football's A Violent Anger In Our Family Dynamic.

I Believe That Opportunity Looks A Lot Like Hard Work.

I Certainly Don't Think I'm Deserving Of Taking Up Space Forever As A Human. There's A Whole Generation Of People Yet To Be Born That Are Going To Be So Much More Evolved Than I Am. I Don't Want To Take Up Space. They're Going To Be Better Equipped To Make The World A Better Place Than I Am.

A Lot Of The Characters I Play Are Very Naive, And I Don't Think I'm Like That. And I'm Not Stupid!

When I Was 13, I Had My First Job With My Dad Carrying Shingles Up To The Roof. And Then I Got A Job Washing Dishes At A Restaurant. And Then I Got A Job In A Grocery Store Deli. And Then I Got A Job In A Factory Sweeping Cheerio Dust Off The Ground.

I Think Romance Is Something That You Don't Clock Or Keep Track Of... You Don't Manage It In That Way. It's Something That Happens In A Moment. Usually, It's In A Period Of Time When You Put Yourself In An Uncomfortable Position For The Sake Of Somebody Else.

As An Actor, I Know That Any Feelings You're Showing Are Manufactured. But I Still Don't Want To Fool My Mind Into Thinking My Wife`s Into Another Guy.

It's Funny, I Talk To Some Of My Friends And They Don't Want To To Get A Job At Starbucks. They Don't Want To Get A Job At, Wherever, Because They Feel Like It's Below Them. And I Think The Only Thing That Can Be Below You Is To Not Have A Job. Go Work Until You Can Get The Job That You Want To Have.

I Mean, Everyone Has To Calm Down Sometime. I'll Still Smoke Up And Party, But Yeah, Eventually You Gotta Settle Down And Be An Adult. But Still Have Fun. Demi's Helped Me Sort Of Like, Understand That Down The Road It'll Just Happen.

There's No Sense In Making Life Seem Like It's A Struggle, Because That Doesn't Make Anybody Feel Better.

The Reality Is That We Communicate With Every Part Of Our Being, And There Are Times When We Must Use It All. When Someone Needs Us, He Or She Needs All Of Us. There's No Text That Can Replace A Loving Touch When Someone We Love Is Hurting.

I Think People Know Steve Jobs The Showman. I Think People Know The Guy Who Stood Up And Gave The Keynotes. The Magician. The Salesman.

The People Here Are Amazing - The Young People Here Are Amazing. The Entrepreneurs Here Are Incredible.

From A Purely Entertainment Point Of View, To Create A Movie With A Female Lead That Is Empowered With Her Own Sexuality I Think Is A Really Powerful Thing.

I Don't Buy These Rag Magazines That Feed Off Of Stolen, You Know, Press. They're Basically Stealing Someone's Image In Order To Make Money For Themselves... They Wait At The End Of My Street In Their Cars. Every Time I Exit My Home, I Have Company.

I Think At All Social Networks, Be It Facebook Or Twitter Or Whatever It Is, There's An Ecosystem That Exist There. But There's Also An Ego System That Exists There.

I Didn't Even Know Guys Modeled Before That. I Thought Fabio Was The Only Male Model, And I Really Didn't Fit That Bill.

The Power Of A Handwritten Letter Is Greater Than Ever. It's Personal And Deliberate And Means More Than An E-mail Or Text Ever Will. It Has A Unique Scent. It Requires Deciphering. But, Most Important, It's Flawed.

I Think Great Relationships Are Great Partnerships, And Those Come In All Shapes, Sizes, Forms, Ages. The Only Tip I Have For Anyone In A Relationship Or A Partnership Is Work On It When It's Good. It's Very Easy To Try To Take The Break When Things Are Going Good, But That's The Time You Have To Keep Working On It, Because You Can Keep It Good, And That's Worth A Lot.

I Like Being What The Girls Call Mod-"my Other Dad." What I've Learned In The Past Year Is That Every Kid Is Different. But As Long As You Love Them And Never Forget That Love, Then You Have The Key. I Think It's All About Just Being There And Loving Them Because Kids Feel That Every Single Day.

Whether It's Being A Leading Man, Making Tv Shows, Being With My Family, I've Learned A Lot.

One Of The Things About Being On Twitter, For Me, Is Mostly About Just Being On The Pulse Of What People Are Interested In, What People Are Doing And What People Are Looking For. I Look At Entertainment Projects And Storytelling And I Really Try To Think About What People Want.

I Didn't Really Go The Starving-artist Route. I Kind Of Went And Did Massive, Commercial Things.

With Actors And Directors, It's A Conversation That You Have. You Have To Learn Each Other's Language And Learn How To Communicate With Each Other Effectively. It's Really Nice When You Can Have That Communication On A Level Where They Walk Up To You And You Can See By The Expression On Their Face What They Want. You Don't Even Have To Talk, It Just Like, "got It!" And, You Know What They Want Before They Even Ask For It.

My Mom Is Still Yelling At Me Because She Needs More Autographed Pictures.

I'm Very Tech-forward. However, I Also Think Hitting The Pause Button Is Not A Bad Thing, And Really Connecting With People One-to-one Viscerally, Having A Connection With Someone, Is Really Important.

I Don't Think Opposites Attract. I Think Like Attracts Like. So I Don't Think That They Do Attract, Opposites. Only When You're Talking About Magnetic Poles.

I Am Only Young Once, Who Cares If I'm A Goofball!

The Largest Fear In The World Is To Speak In Public. We Fear Of Stumbling, Or Public Humiliation, And So We're Fearing A Face-to-face Rejection.

The Bigger Thing With Bitcoin Is Not Bitcoin Itself, But What Does That Decentralized Technology Really Do?

The Number Of Lines In Your Forehead Tells How Many Lives You've Lived.

I'm A Guy's Guy. I Don't Comb My Hair Unless I Have To, And I Don't Use Lotions Or Fancy Shampoos.

I'm From Iowa, We Don't Know What Cool Is!

We Try To Make Each Situation Specific To The Person. At The Beginning Of The Season, We Come Up With, Like, 50 To 100 Ideas, Which We Workshop And Then We Call Around To See Who Is Interested In Doing Something Like That. Once We Find The People, We Make The Bid Specific To Them. A Lot Of It Is About Where You Can Get People To Go Physically, Which Is A Little Tricky Because Most Actors And Musicians Are Kind Of Hermits-they Like To Stay In Their Houses.

Sharing Love And Light While In Israel.

If You Really Want To Make A Relationship Work, At Some Point In Time, You're Going To Have To Make Some Sacrifices And Do Some Things That Are A Little Bit Uncomfortable.

Be Careful With The Man Jewelry. A Little Goes A Long Way.

I'm Happy Wherever I Go, Whatever I Do. I'm Happy In Iowa, I'm Happy Here In California.

Acting Can Be So Much Fun That It's Easy To Forget That What You're Doing Is A Job. But If I've Got My Tie On, I'm Going To Work.

I Think Directing Yourself Is A Monumental Task. Just To Self Edit As An Actor, You Work For Some Directors Who Don't Give You A Lot Of Feedback So You Have To Do That. That's A Difficult Thing To Do As An Actor.

I Don't Read The Magazines That Make Things Up About People. I Know What The Truth Is. I Don't Sort Of Indulge In My Own Fodder. I Don't Really Care What They Write About Me.

I Don't Believe That Old Cliche That Good Things Come To Those Who Wait. I Think Good Things Come To Those Who Want Something So Bad They Can't Sit Still.

If Google Decided At Any Point To Publish My Search History, Or Your Search History, Or Anyone's Search History, There's A Litany Of Things They Could Idea Police You About, And If It Was Published, You Would Be Publicly Shamed. Everyone Would Be Publicly Shamed. But We Trust Google, And We Trust The People That Run That Company.

There Is Some Argument About Who Actually Invented Text Messaging, But I Think It's Safe To Say It Was A Man. Multiple Studies Have Shown That The Average Man Uses About Half As Many Words Per Day As Women, Thus Text Messaging. It Eliminates Hellos And Goodbyes And Cuts Right To The Chase.

I Definitely Believe That If You Stop Working At Relationships, They Go Away.

I Didn't Come From The Worst Of Situations, And I Didn't Come Into The Best Of Situations. But I've Appreciated The Best Situations. And I've Made The Best Of The Worst Situations. I'm Lucky To Be Where I Am.

Worst Situation

Anyone Who Wants To Be An Entrepreneur Like Someone Else Is Actually Looking In The Wrong Direction. You Don't Look Out For Inspiration, You Look In. You Have To Ask Yourself How Can I Be Better Today, At Solving The Problem I Am Trying To Solve For My Company. I Wouldn't Encourage Anyone To Be Like Me. Just Be Like You.

Katalyst Is A Merger Of Three Industries. A Piece Of Us Is Connected To Ad Agencies.

So We Create Social Networks For Brands.

There's No Text That Can Replace A Loving Touch When Someone We Love Is Hurting.

I Think That When We Start Thought-policing People And Idea-policing People, Then That's Crossing A Line. And I Think, You Know, Everybody's So Afraid Of This Imaginary Line Of Thought Police That They Forget Their Own Personal Safety.

If You Want To Be A Real Entrepreneur You Have To Be The Cause, You Have To Be The Creator Of Someone Else's New Realty. Which Eliminates Time, Space, Motion, And Friction.

As Marriage Goes, I Think Most People Sort Of Set Being - You Know Getting Married As The Goal As Opposed To Being Married.

We're All Living In A Casino. It's Just Vegas. Everything Is On Camera. Everything Is Being Recorded. Everything Is On Audio. The Truth Is We All Have Access To Everybody Else's Information.

I Was Shooting A Scene In My New Film, No Strings Attached, In Which I Say To Natalie Portman, “if You Miss Me. You Can’t Text, You Can’t Email, You Can’t Post It On My Facebook Wall. If You Really Miss Me, You Come And See Me.

My Mom Was More Into The Yelling. She Was The Enforcer. She Was The One That Laid Down The Law. My Dad Made Up The Rules, But My Mom Laid Down The Law. It's Not Her Words, It's Her Tone That Sticks With Me.

There's Something Advantageous About Having People Underestimate Your Intellect, Insomuch As A Lot Of Things Are Revealed To You. They Assume You Don't Know What You're Talking About, Then All Of A Sudden, You Do. And The Next Thing You Know, You Have Information You Wouldn't Normally Have.

I Woke Up Many Mornings Not Knowing What I'd Done The Night Before. I'm Amazed I'm Not Dead.

I'm Very Awkward When I Have Time Off. I Don't Know What To Do With Myself. It's Weird Not To Work.

Your Shoes Have To Match Your Belt. That's Rule Number One For Guys. You Can't Put The Brown Shoes With The Black Belt. Or A Brown Belt With A Black Wristwatch. Just Don't Do It! Also, I Don't Like Boots With Suits. And When You Wear Sneakers, Make Sure They Go With Your Shirt.

I Think Guys Wind Up After A While Not Wanting Another Guy Sleeping With The Girl They're With. But Eventually Everyone Wants Something More. We All Have That Desire For Something Special, Something Committed. We All Want To Be The One.

I Try To Make Good Decisions As Decisions Come Up.

Anyone Who Has Tried To Build Something That Changes People's Lives Sometimes Finds Life To Be A Distraction, And Finds People Who Don't Care As Much As They Do To Be Annoying.

Steve Jobs Had Something Like A 90% Approval Rating From His Employees. You Hear Stories About Him Being This Short-tempered, Aggressive Person, Which He Was. But He Was In The Pursuit Of Making People Around Him Better, So The Product They Created Would Be Better.
