I know so many amazing actors who don't get work... and then there are a bunch of real duds that work all the time. The industry is just not fair in that way.

I'm not prepared for a zombie apocalypse. I need more bottled water, a shotgun, and stronger abs. I have plenty of canner food.

I'm a lover of lists and five-year plans and Excel spreadsheets. Any way that I can have any control over the direction my life is going, I gravitate towards that.

I still get nervous when I have a lot of makeup on, a big hairdo, and a dress.

Be willing to work for nothing in things you think are stupid. Make work for yourself. Make your own luck. Don't complain. Hopefully, the work will find you if you are ready.

Growing up, I was a very shy, wallflower type. I was not a nerd, but not popular. I was just invisible, like that person you probably didn't know you were in school with.

Even in college I tended to get cast in the comedies more. It was what I liked doing.

Beauty is to recognize how full of Love you are. Sensuality is to let some of that Love shine through your body.

What we do makes a difference and what we think about influences what we do.

Romantic love can be a lot of crap, though, let me tell you. And it can hurt you.

As the son of Holocaust survivors, this is life - you're put in a corner, and you have to get out. I believe that you can always get out.

I learned that if you want to make it bad enough, no matter how bad it is, you can make it.

Just as any revolution eats its children, unchecked market fundamentalism can devour the social capital essential for the long-term dynamism of capitalism itself.

Typically, in the last round of open tournaments the level of play is markedly lower, the number of blunders higher.

Sometimes people think drawing and painting is mucking about when actually it is a highly skilled activity.

I think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect.
