A lot of a movie is locations, frankly.

I had a mustache when I was 13.

I like to challenge myself. I like to learn - so I like to try new things and try to keep growing.

If there's something I want, I go for it. I just think about how I'm going to go for it.

Being generous or doing things for others actually makes me feel good so I don't do it because I hope karma will come round and get me and I'll benefit from it.

It's really important to me not to be known as Ross when I'm 60.

There are days when I think: what if I just checked out? What if I grew a beard and went off to live somewhere remote? I have often wondered about the freedom that would bring.

At this age - I'm 44 - I think life's too short. I want it to mean something to me, if I'm going to spend that much time doing it.

I find America falling in love with a TV show flattering and interesting, but at the same time a little sad.

I was a geek in high school.

You're only as good as the sum of your parts, and one person can't be a team.

We live not for the years but for the moments.

My optimism? Where I grew up our principal cultural expression was the funeral. Whatever keeps me going, it isn't optimism.

Writing is a form of talking, although writing is such an odd thing in and of itself. People go about it in such different ways.

He who knows not and knows not he knows not: he is a fool -- shun him. He who knows not and knows he knows not: he is simple -- teach him.

Most of my movies get about a third raves, a third vicious attacks, and a third in-between.

If I had five minutes to live, I don't think I'd be bothered singing a song. I'd be dead, so it won't really matter. I'd have a glass of wine and a cigarette.

Music is the softest cushion in the world.

The minute you become conscious that you are doing good, that's the minute you have to stop because from then on it's wrong.

The less my hope, the hotter my love

Life without you is like a broken pencil, there's no point.
