I spend a lot of time doing carpentry. Sometimes there is nothing that gives me the contentment that sawing a piece of wood does.

I get up every morning and chop wood, and I pretty much do it seven days a week, and I like to do it. I still have time for my wife and my son, who's 14, and at this point, my head is still above water.

Aim for the chopping block. If you aim for the wood, you will have nothing. Aim past the wood, aim through the wood; aim for the chopping block.

I went through a wood-chopping phase when I was nine or 10.

I like to work a lot with wood. I make furniture that falls apart. I also sew.

I had to learn how to chop wood actually - I don't think my dad would have let me go chop wood in the backyard growing up.

I love beautiful wood.

Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

I have to do so many scenes cooking that I wanted to learn how to chop like I know what I'm doing and do certain things around the kitchen that look right.

If you've ever done something you love and go do something you like, it's like chewing on sawdust.
