I am not an artist except that when I envision a concept, I sometimes indulge it.

I think winter wear is communal. You get some gloves and a scarf from a lost-and-found box, wash them, wear them for a while until you lose them. Then somebody else does the same thing

You ask any actor - they'll tell you they'd rather shoot on location because you don't have to invent the energy, the energy is there.

What is important is family, friends, giving back to your community and finding meaning in life.

It's enough to indulge and to be selfish but true happiness is really when you start giving back.

I'm one with New York, and New York is one with me. I grew up there; there's no escaping it. We're like Siamese twins, if you separate us, I'll die.

I don't like putting people on a pedestal, I think ideas are more exciting

When I feel myself getting overwhelmed, I take a deep breath and eat a piece of chocolate.

I think, in a lot of ways, celebrities represent the American dream. They have financial fluidity and options at their disposal.

When you are dealing with real life, there is no way to control it.

I am happy to have success in the entertainment biz, but the root of my happiness comes from my neighborhood, NYC.

To be in your children's memories tomorrow, You have to be in their lives today.

Start a revolution. Love thy neighbor.

The hour is only long thus, if you've waited.

Spiritual love is when you see new faces as the oldest.

I have a lot of aggression in me that needs to come out in a not-very-precise or articulate way.

What a man wishes, he will believe.

Life is easy to chronicle, but bewildering to practice.

New ideas can be good and bad, just the same as old ones.

Okay - the world needs its cogs, all of them; and even a cog may say how it gets used. In fact, only a cog may determine its eventual meaning in the system. That's what I wanted to tell you.

Every moment of your life is infinitely creative and the universe is endlessly bountiful. Just put forth a clear enough request, and everything your heart desires must come to you.
