Anyway, we had a blast, and the movie [the Ghost Team] turned out really, really funny.

My parents went crazy when they found out that I had gotten the part in 'Conversations With My Father!' I'd never given acting a thought. They were proud of me and very encouraging.

What's great is that because math is such a universal language, really, our fans come in all shapes and sizes, all ages and genders and races and backgrounds and cultures.

So many shows out there dumb-down the country. It's so admirable to be part of a show that wants people to think.

[10 Things I Hate About You] was the most fun I ever had making a movie. Everyone got along really, really well from day one. It was like summer camp.

There is only so much I can understand and not screw up.

[Lauren Ambrose's] character [in Can't Hardly Wait] feels real and unexaggerated and becomes sort of a heroine archetype. I think that was cool. It wasn't in every one of those comedies.

Me, I look in the mirror and all I see is this Jewish kid from Queens.

Obviously [Can't Hardly Wait] wasn't in American Pie, which was a movie about some teenage boys.

I lost some weight, grew my hair and now every woman in America over 40 wants to date me. It's their daughters I want to convince.

To go to L.A. and be on the Addams Family set? It was beautiful production design and an illustrious set. I'm focused on never losing that sense of privilege. I'm still like, "I'm super lucky."

Men have to have heroes, but no man can ever be as big as the need, and so a legend grows around a grain of truth, like a pearl.

Movies are like an expensive form of therapy for me.

It seems to me that, in every culture, I come across a chapter headed 'Wisdom.' And then I know exactly what is going to follow: 'Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.'

Rock and roll just used to be for kicks, now a days it's politics.

However they may have felt when they left they were now committed, they had passed the point of no return.

What's bad for the frackers usually is good for the rest of the world.

War justifies everything.

In a nutshell, loving someone is about giving, not receiving.

I always carry a pair of scissors around with me to cut things out of magazines.

That adage about genius being 5 percent inspiration and 95 perspiration - it's true.
