I had to skydive for the movie and I was terrified. Like everybody, I thought it was going to be one of those experiences that changes your life. It didn't.

I grew up in Greenwich Village. Dad was friends with John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

My taste in music and entertainment is quite eclectic.

I'm open to sci-fi, but I was never a diehard fan. I have no idea why it keeps following me. I'm extremely lucky, I guess; it's a lucrative venue.

I think sometimes women who are supposed to be strong are also written as mean and vindictive.

I never worked less than 16-hour days on South Beach.

My father used to sing to me in my mother's womb. I think I can name about any tune in two beats.

My junior high was dreadful. I see a lot of my fellow alumni on America's Most Wanted.

I've spent a lot of time and money trying to keep my anger in control.

My grandfather was a cop in Long Island. I often try to draw on things that I've heard about him.

Don't we all just really try to fake it well?

What if happiness is a choice?

Fear is met and destroyed with courage.

If you give me the chance, I'll destroy America for you.

Who knows, maybe this whole planet is an asylum, a penal realm. A place for hard cases.

Music is more like water than a rhinoceros. It doesn't charge madly down one path. It runs away in every direction.

When you need a friend, you can always count on your teammates.

When illness enters a home, not only does it take hold of a body. It also weaves a dark web between hearts, a web where hope is trapped.
