Quotes: "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
On what keeps him humble: "You know, I telephoned my grandparents the other day, and my grandfather said to me, 'We saw your movie.' 'Which one?' I said, and he shouted, 'Betty, what was the name of that movie I didn't like?' I thought that was just classic. I mean, if that doesn't keep your feet on the ground, what would?" -Brad Pitt
"I'm one of those people you hate because of genetics. It's the truth." - Brad Pitt
"You shouldn't speak until you know what you're talking about. That's why I get uncomfortable with interviews. Reporters ask me what I feel China should do about Tibet. Who cares what I think China should do? I'm a f---ing actor! They hand me a script. I act. I'm here for entertainment, basically, when you whittle everything away. I'm a grown man who puts on makeup." - Brad Pitt
