Quotes by Brad Pitt

Happiness is overrated. There has to be conflict in life.

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, its about getting the work done and getting home to family. I have an adventure every morning, getting up.

A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss... Thats the trade-off. But Ill take it all.

Im drawn to furniture design as complete architecture on a minor scale.

I dont feel restless, I just like to travel.

I grew up on certain movies, particular movies that said something to me as a kid from Missouri, movies that showed me places Id 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.

My affliction has been... I can make something or draw something or design something better than I can explain it.

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, Im so happy to have her.

My kids are just waiting for me at home. Im their father. Theyre wondering, Whens Daddy coming home?

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 didnt want for things. He wanted to give us more opportunity than he had, a better shot at a better life.

“This idea of perpetual happiness is crazy and overrated, because those dark moments fuel you for the next bright moments; each one helps you appreciate the other.”
