Lesson of the Day: Give Back
TAKE AWAYS
- Saving Private Ryan , in a weird way, it changed me. Most of my friends became military, my politics were different… I had an incredible desire to help veterans.
- If anybody has the opportunity to go abroad and see our soldiers and what their doing, I encourage them to go do that. It’s life changing…
- I have completely boycotted the NFL and I’m a junkie… The 3 minutes of saluting this country, don’t disrespect it. These men and women have fought way to hard for that flag and that song, respect that.
- The supporting roles are more difficult. When you have a leading role, the writers have written your character and have mapped out their emotional journey. When you’re in a supporting role, you have to create that and its a lot more work.
- I had no idea what 50 Shades of Grey was.. then I told my wife and she said “YOU HAVE TO DO IT, ITS GOING TO BE HUGE!”
