I didn't want kids to think that to be happy they had to be famous or rich or live in the big city.
I lost some of my friends because I got so famous people who just assumed that I would be different now. I felt like everyone hated me. That is the most unhappy time of my life.
I would have been very happy just working from job to job paying my rent one movie at a time. I never wanted to be this famous. I never imagined this life for myself.
I have been very happy very rich very beautiful much adulated very famous and very unhappy.
It isn't necessary to be rich and famous to be happy. It's only necessary to be rich.
I had the good fortune of having a happy closely knit family.
If I'm not writing well I'm not happy. If I'm not spending enough time with my family I'm not happy. If I'm not connecting to friends or if I don't work out enough... You get the point. Everything has to be balanced. Nothing should be an extreme.
When I do get free time I spend a lot of it at home with my family and my close friends and I think that's what keeps me happy healthy grounded and totally in check.
It sounds cliche but success is your friends your family what you do and if you're happy when you wake up.
You cannot be happy with your family while being personally unhappy with your work. It's a Catch-22 kind of thing.
