Brad Pitt Quotes
I donโt have a chance [on being elected Mayor of New Orleans]. Iโm running on the gay marriage, no religion, legalization and taxation of marijuana platform.
Itโs hard to be surprised by a film. Itโs hard to be surprised by another actor or by a director when youโve seen enough and been around. So when I am, or when I forget that Iโm watching someoneโs movie, or when I donโt know how someone made a certain turn that I didnโt expectโฆ You know, Iโm in.
My father came from a very poor background, but I was very fortunate in the sense that we were never in need. My dad was determined to make sure that we didnโt want for things. He wanted to give us more opportunity than he had, a better shot at a better life.
The choice or decision to take on a film certainly isnโt calculated as far as doing something that will be successful against something that will have a smaller audience. Itโs all a gamble to me, I donโt bet on the horses; I just go with the story that speaks to me and that I feel strongly about which is this one [The Assassination of Jesse James].
You never know when I might decide to work in a Bollywood film and do one of those dance numbers with the whole crew in the backdrop.
I was very curious about the world even at a young age, and I donโt know at what point I became aware that other cultures believed in different religions, and my question was, โWell, why donโt they get to go to heaven then?โ And the answer was always, โWell, everyone gets a chance โ meaning at the word of God as it was described to me then. And that didnโt sit well with me then. But in times of trouble or discord, itโs a great comfort. And it wasnโt till I left home that I really came to the conclusion that it didnโt make sense to me for many other reasons.
When I first got out to Hollywood, they were pushing me for sitcoms, and I didnโt really have an interest in them. I wanted to do films and slowly worked that way. And then it became, I guess, this curse of the leading man.
I grew up in Oklahoma and Missouri, and I just loved film. My folks would take us to the drive-in on summer nights, and weโd sit on the hood of the car. I just had this profound love for storytelling.
I always liked film as a teaching tool โ a way of getting exposed to ideas that had never been presented to me. It just wasnโt on the list of career options where I grew up.

Brad Pitt Quotes about Books
Having children takes the focus off yourself, which Iโm really grateful for. Iโm so tired of thinking about myself. Iโm sick of myself. You feel you want to be there and not miss out on anything.

Crime is just unvarnished capitalism, after all.

Brad Pitt Quotes on Film
I come from the belief that all good films find their time whether itโs on opening week or sometime later.

Brad Pitt Quotes on Architecture
