My feeling is... when you show up to a movie set where there's, like, 50 people standing around and months of preparation gone into it, you want to be as prepared as possible, so you should make a million baguettes.

So if you stay ready, you ain't gotta get ready, and that is how I run my life.

It is not the cares of today, but the cares of tomorrow, that weigh a man down.

It has been well said that no man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is, when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of today, that the weight is more than a man can bear.

It is when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a man can bear.

Some people worry. Others prepare.

To me, it's simple: if you've got the time, use it to get ready. What else could you possibly have to do that's more important?

No man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a man can bear.
