I woke up many mornings not knowing what I’d done the night before. I’m amazed I’m not dead.
My mom’s whole side of the family, they’re all Packers fans. My mom’s a Bears fan. My stepdad is a Vikings guy. So that gets ugly. My mom sits upstairs watching the Bears game; he sits in the basement. They can’t watch it together. Football’s a violent anger in our family dynamic.
I’ll probably never be the best actor in Hollywood, but I hope to be the hardest working.
As marriage goes, I think most people sort of set being – you know getting married as the goal as opposed to being married.
We all have that desire for something special, something committed. We all want to be The One.
Women have a level of outward compassion that a lot of men don’t necessarily have. Guys feel as deeply as women, but they don’t share it as much.
There was a point in time where I was doing movies to be able to afford to live in a certain way.
The truth is that I’m an idiot. I am. I don’t do things by the rules sometimes. I say things that I probably shouldn’t say. I push buttons. I deserve to be made fun of. And I feel like, as soon as you can make fun of something, it instantly removes the fear.
In e-commerce, your prices have to be better because the consumer has to take a leap of faith in your product.
The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart. And being thoughtful and being generous. Everything else is crap. I promise you. It’s just crap that people try to sell to you to make you feel like less. So don’t buy it. Be smart. Be thoughtful and be generous.
Romance is sort of an island right next to care. When you care about someone and you listen to them and you hear them and you can feel them and you know just what’s right, and generally it’s something that will be very unimpressive to a room of strangers.
My mom is still yelling at me because she needs more autographed pictures.
Opportunity looks a lot like hard work.
A lot of people use social media to share mundane things or for self-glorification. I try to use it to share interesting things with people.
I believe that opportunity looks a lot like hard work.
True luxury is being able to own your time – to be able to take a walk, sit on your porch, read the paper, not take the call, not be compelled by obligation.
I wanted to be a genetic engineer. That was my goal in college. I wanted to figure out what the codon sequence was that causes replication in a cardio myopathic virus. That was my goal.
There is some argument about who actually invented text messaging, but I think it’s safe to say it was a man. Multiple studies have shown that the average man uses about half as many words per day as women, thus text messaging. It eliminates hellos and goodbyes and cuts right to the chase.
The film industry brings people together, and so does technology. I see them as similar platforms.
I am only young once, who cares if I’m a goofball!
Modeling is the best because you have to look hot, which comes easy to me, you know. I’m blessed with that.
The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart. And being thoughtful. And being generous. Everything else is crap!
One of the things I’ve become immune to is people talking about market cap and social media platforms.
Your best T-shirt should be like your bed; it just feels like you are home when you are in it.
Ultimately there’s a dirty secret about the Internet, which is nothing disappears. All these companies have all your information. They have your search history.
I definitely believe that if you stop working at relationships, they go away.
I really think that you have to find a partner that compliments you and is somebody that pushes you and is better at some things than you are, so they can push you to improve yourself as a person. That’s my take.
Wear a belt! It’s an easy way to pull together your outfit. Just be sure to match it to your shoes.
You know, I think that romance sort of coincides with effort, so you can fall flat on your face, but as long as you’re making a great effort, I think it comes off as romantic.
I feel like a fraud… My name is not even actually Ashton. Ashton is my middle name.
A lot of people use social media to share mundane things or for self-glorification. I try to use it to share interesting things with people.
I think Ryan Gosling is a really great actor who’s meticulous about his work. And I’d love to have the guts that Johnny Depp has to actually go outside the box on a character. When he plays a character, he plays it in a way that nobody else would.
I’m a guy’s guy. I don’t comb my hair unless I have to, and I don’t use lotions or fancy shampoos.
I don’t read the magazines that make things up about people. I know what the truth is. I don’t sort of indulge in my own fodder. I don’t really care what they write about me.
Always roll up the sleeves on your shirt. It gives the impression that you’re working, even if you’re not.
There’s no text that can replace a loving touch when someone we love is hurting.
The failures that we have are sometimes expensive educations.
The power of a handwritten letter is greater than ever. It’s personal and deliberate and means more than an e-mail or text ever will. It has a unique scent. It requires deciphering. But, most important, it’s flawed.
I try to make good decisions as decisions come up.
