"In some ways, I'm still a kid from Missouri and Oklahoma, and I'm trying to find my way." — Brad Pitt

I don't think I was all that late in becoming a father.

The best moments can't be preconceived. I've spent a lot of time in editing rooms, and a scene can be technically perfect, with perfect delivery and facial expression and timing, and you remember all your lines, and it is dead.

I'd say that 'Tree of Life' is not a Christian so much as a spiritual film.

Listen, I've been pretty fortunate. And if I've been underrated, it's actually been something I've been able to work with; I can surprise people. It sets me up to exceed expectations, so I don't mind.
