There are certain aspects of celebrity that I understand, although that's not the main point of the story [ in Assassination of Jesse James] , but it is one of the by products.

Cate Blanchett is mesmerizing. I don't know why. It's beyond my understanding. Why we all want to work with her is she elevates the rest of us. She's just got some ethereal grace and elegance that's beyond me, and an acute understanding of human nature. She's just exquisite. She's otherworldly. -- Brad Pitt

In Missouri, where I come from, we don't talk about what we do - we just do it. If we talk about it, it's seen as bragging. -- Brad Pitt

There's no right. There's no wrong. There's only popular opinion. -- Brad Pitt

It's hard to be surprised by a film. It's hard to be surprised by another actor or by a director when you've seen enough and been around.

Democracy doesn't work unless the public is informed. -- Brad Pitt

That's the most important thing to me - that if I'm gonna spend however long it takes to make a movie, give up 14 hours a day for however many weeks or months, then it's very important for me to know that I'm working with people who I respect and enjoy and that we're going for something together. -- Brad Pitt

I always knew I was going somewhere - going out. I just knew. I just knew. I just knew there were a lot more points of view out there. -- Brad Pitt

Yeah. And it was too much of what you shouldn't be doing instead of what you should be doing. I get enraged when people start telling other people how to live their lives. It drives me mental. This Prop.8 thing just drives me mental -- Brad Pitt

I didn't realize how interesting the place I come from is until I left home and saw how other cultures handled things differently. -- Brad Pitt

When I was a boy, I would ask about my family history, about my bloodlines. We really didn't know that much. We had a little Indian in us from the Oklahoma Trail of Tears. -- Brad Pitt

Let us be the ones who say we do not accept that a child dies every three seconds simply because he does not have the drugs you and I have.

I always liked those moments of epiphany, when you have the next destination. -- Brad Pitt

Religion works. I know there's comfort there, a crash pad. It's something to explain the world and tell you there is something bigger than you, and it is going to be alright in the end. It works because it's comforting. -- Brad Pitt

I would love to work in a Bollywood film as there is so much drama and colour in the films there. -- Brad Pitt

When I was a little kid we moved to Tulsa, then to St. Louis and, by the time I was in kindergarten, we lived in Springfield, Missouri. There I basically grew up. -- Brad Pitt

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

I'm probably 20 percent atheist and 80 percent agnostic. I don't think anyone really knows. You'll either find out or not when you get there, until then there's no point thinking about it. -- Brad Pitt

The gods envy us. They envy us because we're mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again. -- Brad Pitt

I believe in the power of journalism. To make informed decisions, you have to have an understanding of the dynamics of a situation. And journalism does bridge gaps and creates dialogue. -- Brad Pitt

I didn't understand this idea of a God who says, "You have to acknowledge me. You have to say that I'm the best, and then I'll give you eternal happiness. If you won't, then you don't get it!" It seemed to be about ego. I can't see God operating from ego, so it made no sense to me. -- Brad Pitt

I don't want to die without scars. -- Brad Pitt

There's nothing more life-changing than fatherhood. -- Brad Pitt

'The Assassination of Jesse James' remains one of my favorite films that I've done. You know, it's still labeled a loser. -- Brad Pitt

It took me a good decade of hiding in my house and not going outside to even, like, get my arms around this idea of celebrity, where suddenly people are looking for you to pick your nose or get a shot of you kissing some woman. It's a very discombobulating thing. -- Brad Pitt

I was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma. -- Brad Pitt

Fame is a Bleet, man. -- Brad Pitt

I see religion more as a truck stop on your way to figuring out who you are. -- Brad Pitt

With sons and fathers, there's an inexplicable connection and imprint that your father leaves on you. -- Brad Pitt

I guess I just don't see America as separate from Vietnam or Ethiopia. This mentality of 'our team's better than yours' - it's a high school idea. My kids don't see those dividing lines, and I don't want to either. -- Brad Pitt

The latitude and longitudinal lines of where you are born determine your opportunity in life, and it's not equal. We may have been created equal, but we're not born equal. It's a lot to do with luck and you have to pass that on. -- Brad Pitt

I loved 'Saturday Night Fever' when I was a kid. I couldn't believe people talked that way. It was just a whole new culture I didn't understand. I snuck into it. It was an R-rated film. So it holds a special place. -- Brad Pitt

You can't trap justice. It's an idea, a belief. -- Brad Pitt

Perhaps we don't need these religious concoctions to pillow the fear of death. Just the fact that there is an unknown, and something greater, can bring a feeling of peace. That's enough for me. -- Brad Pitt

When you first get opportunities, suddenly you get surrounded by a lot of people who want to make money off you but also are there to help. But they start telling you so much what you need to be and what you need to do to maintain some idea of career maintenance. -- Brad Pitt

I'm gonna design my own fleet of trailers. No! I'm gonna record an album like Jennifer Lopez. It'll be an acoustic version of K.C. and the Sunshine Band. Then maybe I'll design a line of clothes like Puff Daddy, but all in synthetic fur. -- Brad Pitt

At the end of the day, we get to be parents, greeting our lovely, crazy children and talking about their day, making sure they brush their teeth, so all the tension from our day is tabled ... until the next. -- Brad Pitt

I know some of these guys who are in that 'stalkerazzi' world, and you really have to separate them from the paparazzi in our industry. That's another breed. They have their heroes who got the big, scandalous shot, which just promotes more of that. -- Brad Pitt

I would say that the directors that I've liked the most are all curious in nature - curious thinkers. They're all big questioners, I would say, first and foremost. -- Brad Pitt

Gay marriage is inevitable. The next generation, they get it. It is just a matter of time before it becomes a reality. -- Brad Pitt

I feel like I have to share whatever I can. You're culpable if you don't act. -- Brad Pitt

The Internet has done a wonderful thing for us. But democracy doesn't work unless people are well informed, and I don't know that we are. People just don't have the time. -- Brad Pitt

America is a country founded on guns. It's in our DNA. It's very strange but I feel better having a gun. I really do. I don't feel safe, I don't feel the house is completely safe, if I don't have one hidden somewhere. That's my thinking, right or wrong. -- Brad Pitt

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 didn't want for things. He wanted to give us more opportunity than he had, a better shot at a better life. -- Brad Pitt

I've had the luxury of travel and, in the luxury of travel, I've seen the detriments of poverty and I've gone on to see how easy the cures can be
cures that cost cents to the richest nations in the world,. -- Brad Pitt

By employing the intelligence of natural systems we can create industry, buildings, even regional plans that see nature and commerce not as mutually exclusive but mutually coexisting. -- Brad Pitt

I keep hearing I'm a crazy party guy ... I'm not. I'm boring ... At least by party standards. -- Brad Pitt

Kids are dying from diarrhea ... that just shouldn't be in this day and age, and it's that kind of thing that needs to be changed. Enough is enough -- Brad Pitt

Plan B is really a little garage band of three people, and our mandate has been to help get difficult material, that might not otherwise get made, to the screen and to work with directors we respect. -- Brad Pitt

Stop being perfect, because obsessing over being perfect stops you from growing. -- Brad Pitt

You dont know someone until you know what they want. -- Brad Pitt

I have this fantasy of my older days, painting or sculpting or making things. I have this fantasy of a bike trip to Chile. I have this fantasy of flying into Morocco. But right now, it's about getting the work done and getting home to family. I have an adventure every morning, getting up. -- Brad Pitt

I fell in love with the place! You know, the people, the bourbon, the music ... it's in the air. It's something you can't describe on camera. -- Brad Pitt

I grew up on certain movies, particular movies that said something to me as a kid from Missouri, movies that showed me places I'd yet traveled, or different cultures, or explained something, or said something in a better way than I could ever say. I wanted to find the movies like that. -- Brad Pitt

It is an amazing fact of human nature that one year we can be chopping each other up [and] the next we can be sharing a pint. We continually devolve into conflict, no matter how much we evolve. -- Brad Pitt

The kids ask about marriage. It's meaning more and more to them. So it's something we've got to look at. -- Brad Pitt

Crime is just unvarnished capitalism, after all. -- Brad Pitt

When I received my first paycheck from my now known day job, I spent it on a period Craftsman chair and a Frank Lloyd Wright-wannabe lamp. With my second paycheck, I bought a stereo. -- Brad Pitt

I don't feel restless, I just like to travel. -- Brad Pitt

We sometimes let ourselves be rated too much by others - we put so much emphasis on a paycheck or what a magazine says. -- Brad Pitt

I'm actually very snobbish about directors. I have to say 'no' all the time. 'No' is the most powerful word in our business. You've got to protect yourself. -- Brad Pitt

There are no secrets at our house. We tell the kids, 'Mom and Dad are going off to kiss.' They go, 'Eww, gross!' But we demand it. -- Brad Pitt

My training is documented on film. -- Brad Pitt

I just don't like the separatism that comes from religion, and, without fail, the need to put your beliefs on someone else. When you start telling someone else how to live, you should check yourself, man. -- Brad Pitt

I dare make those comparisons, but we often said 'the making of' would be as interesting if not more interesting than the film. -- Brad Pitt

I quit, and then I started again, and then I quit, and then I started again. -- Brad Pitt

I think someone's conversation, whether in e-mail or in person, should be private. -- Brad Pitt

Indian cinema seems to be growing very well at its own pace. -- Brad Pitt

I'm 48 now and whatever I get music-wise, I get from my kids and that's it. I don't think I'll ever be hip again! -- Brad Pitt

Fame makes you feel permanently like a girl walking past construction workers. -- Brad Pitt

Depression is not interesting to watch. -- Brad Pitt

You want to stake your own claim. You don't want to be called a copycat. -- Brad Pitt

Where I grew up - we started out in Oklahoma and then moved to Missouri - it was considered hubris to talk about yourself. And the downside of that was that ideas rarely got exchanged, or true feelings. -- Brad Pitt

Man, if I can get a burp out of that little thing I feel such a sense of accomplishment. -- Brad Pitt

Equality, absolutely, that's what defines us. It's what makes us great. If it doesn't sit well with your religion, let your God sort it out in the end, but that's us. We're equal -- Brad Pitt

My life has been about big changes. -- Brad Pitt

Family comes first so I only have this specific window of time available to me and because of that I actually get more done. -- Brad Pitt

My main concern is quality and I think there is quality to be found in all categories of filmmaking. -- Brad Pitt

You can't be different for different's sake, and this doesn't always work, but you have to separate yourself from the normal read. Of course, it has to be truthful. If it's not truthful, don't waste your time. -- Brad Pitt

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. -- Brad Pitt

I haven't known life to be happier. -- Brad Pitt

The woman is the reflection of her man -- Brad Pitt

Most of these stories, you get probably 2 percent real fruit juice and the rest is just garbage with no nutritional value. -- Brad Pitt

I oscillate between agnosticism and atheism. -- Brad Pitt

Success is a beast. And it actually puts the emphasis on the wrong thing. You get away with more instead of looking within. -- Brad Pitt

It's those difficult times that inform the next wonderful time, and it's a series of trade-offs, of events, of wins and losses. -- Brad Pitt

There's peace in understanding that I have only one life, here and now, and I'm responsible. -- Brad Pitt

Most of the time is with the family. Most of the time, is all the time. When we work it's a very intensive chunk of time. We work for 12 hours a day, 14 hours a day is common. And we'll do that for a few months and then we get to relax a little bit. -- Brad Pitt

Once you hit 40, you start reexamining the math of it all. I'll trade wisdom for youth any day. -- Brad Pitt

Though Moneyball had the talents of screenwriters Steven Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin going for it, they weren't baseball insiders. -- Brad Pitt

By nature, I keep moving, man. My theory is, be the shark. You've just got to keep moving. You can't stop. -- Brad Pitt

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. -- Brad Pitt

I'd like to design something like a city or a museum. I want to do something hands on rather than just play golf which is the sport of the religious right. -- Brad Pitt

I find all of my performances come down to mathematics in a sense - how do you approach the problem of this character? Sometimes I crack that problem, sometimes I don't. -- Brad Pitt

Whilst acting is my career, architecture is my passion. Selecting this development as my first major construction project has been a simple decision. It will underpin not only my values for environmentally friendly architecture, but also embrace my career in entertainment -- Brad Pitt

When I first got out to Hollywood, they were pushing me for sitcoms, and I didn't 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. -- Brad Pitt

I don't have a chance [on being elected Mayor of New Orleans]. I'm running on the gay marriage, no religion, legalization and taxation of marijuana platform. -- Brad Pitt

I look at my kids and I feel I'm at the precipice of this job, like just kind of tipping over the other side. I'm very conscious of time I guess is what I want to say, and I want to be there as long as I can with my kids, and I also want to make sure I do all the things that are important to me. -- Brad Pitt

My happiest moment is the day they call wrap and I'm free. I'm not looking back. -- Brad Pitt

Seeing the world is the best education you can get. You see sorrow, and you also see great spirit and will to survive. -- Brad Pitt

Being married means I can break wind and eat ice cream in bed. -- Brad Pitt

When I first moved to L.A., I discovered Roy London. I didn't know anything about the arts, the profession; I had no technique, I knew nothing, I'm fresh from Missouri. I sat in on a few classes, and they just felt a little guru-ish and just didn't feel right to me. Until I met Roy. -- Brad Pitt

I am very interested in architecture. I've been asked if I'd ever direct, but me, I'd rather build. It's very similar to directing, because you get to walk among this piece of art, to live in it, be surrounded by it, which is just thrilling. -- Brad Pitt

You know, you find that these stories ... will turn one of us into the good guy and one of us into the bad guy. If you look at it closely or even not that closely ... it's ridiculous. -- Brad Pitt

My family worry for me because I'm gonna burn in an eternal pit of fire. -- Brad Pitt

I've been in these tabloids for 14 years now, and at some point you just become a Zen master of it all -- Brad Pitt

Happiness is overrated. There has to be conflict in life. -- Brad Pitt

It's a lovely experience walking around a museum by yourself. -- Brad Pitt

The idea that marriage has to be for all time - that I don't understand. -- Brad Pitt

I had a friend who worked at a hospice, and he said people in their final moments don't discuss their successes, awards or what books they wrote or what they accomplished. They only talk about their loves and their regrets, and I think that's very telling. -- Brad Pitt

[Robert]Ford had the idea that through fame he would receive some personal validity, but he didn't. I feel that these are not the main themes, but certainly themes that are at play in this film [ Assassination of Jesse James]. -- Brad Pitt

For me a film is at its best when you can start filling in the story with your own life experience. -- Brad Pitt

I'm most comfortable with the Southern dialects, really. It's easy, for example, for me to do Irish because we've got Irish heritage where I come from. -- Brad Pitt

Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It's kind of a more of a comedic-actiony film. And then we just started Ocean's [12] Monday. Or I did anyways. -- Brad Pitt

I die really well, by the way. It's one of my strong points. I just take a bullet well. -- Brad Pitt

Your shame will be your torture, and your torture will be your life. I wish it long. -- Brad Pitt

I had a very supportive family environment that gave me room to explore and discover things about myself. -- Brad Pitt

I've worked with some really great directors, and I'm really choosy about them because they're telling the story at the end of the day. -- Brad Pitt

We made a plan at school to meet in her garage and kiss. It was like this little business deal. I kissed her and then I ran home -- Brad Pitt

I always heard criticism is the tax on fame. They were right. And then some. -- Brad Pitt

When I first started, they were trying to get me into sitcoms - I think because I had that kind of Wonder Bread look and my hair always went into place. I kept saying, 'I'm not good at sitcoms. I don't know how to do that.' -- Brad Pitt

I like Billy Beane for his idiosyncrasies - that he can't watch the games without getting too emotional, that he often has food down his shirt, that he tends to break a few chairs now and then.These things make him human. -- Brad Pitt

I tell all the young guys, don't make choices because somebody else is telling you it's good from a career-maintenance perspective. -- Brad Pitt

I'm sure they're saddened by me, and I get frustrated with them. But I love them, and at the end of the day if they need me or if they need anything, I'm there for them. Family. -- Brad Pitt

What's valuable to me has become clearer as I've got older. To me, it's about the value of your time and your day and the value of the people you spend it with. -- Brad Pitt

To be in love with someone and be raising a family with someone and want to make that commitment and not be able to is ludicrous, just ludicrous. -- Brad Pitt

So much of making movies is about discovery on the day, what you're figuring out. If you know everything going in, then it's not worth doing - it's already done. -- Brad Pitt

I don't want to waste time being angry at someone I love. -- Brad Pitt

A man inserted an 'ad' in the classifieds: "Wife wanted". Next day he received a hundred letters. They all said the same thing: "You can have mine." -- Brad Pitt

All My Bitches Are Mad At Me Right Now. -- Brad Pitt

Without pain and suffering, we would be nothing -- Brad Pitt

One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom. She is such a great mom. Oh, man, I'm so happy to have her. -- Brad Pitt

I grew up very religious, and I don't have a great relationship with religion. -- Brad Pitt

You hear stories of intense actors who can't shed their character and who don't know who they are for a week or two after. I'm not that guy, man. -- Brad Pitt

I certainly feel injustice. I'm no foreigner to that, whether it's real or perceived. -- Brad Pitt

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

Shoving feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken. -- Brad Pitt

There are no Hallmark cards that define the next chapter, or the value of a history together. -- Brad Pitt
