I like "Talk to Her" by [Pedro] Almodovar and "Happiness" by Todd Solondz, "Mullholland Drive" by David Lynch .

It's always nice to meet friends of friends.

I like to take on a different role every time or else I make myself bored.

I like to do projects that are off-the-wall and on top-of-the-wall.

Human life is just dangerous, in general. You know, waking up in the morning, you could get hit by a car. Wherever you go, you could choke on a fish bone and die. You never know.

I also love a film by Ang Lee - "Lust, Caution."

I kind of feel connected to all places at the moment, and I've done very interesting projects in both places (Israel and America).

However, obviously Israel is a much smaller place in terms of population. There are only 6 million people in Israel, where there might be 6 million people in one city in America.

In America, everything is big and more like a jungle.

I really love Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Edward Norton. I also like Ryan Gosling and Rick Bentley. And of the girls I like Naomi Watts and Juliette Binoche, and I would like to work with...

I'm very picky and I'm very critical.

Great humility brings great grace.

Eva: I don't want any tea.
Lil: Don’t make me have it on my own.

He wasn’t a good person, but I painted him to be and since I painted it, I believed it.

People tend to repeat the same quotes at me that I said when I was 23. And of course, you say things then, and sometimes they're ill-advised.

Trouble can always be borne when it is shared.

When I bought my house in L.A., that was the best business decision I ever made, until the housing market crashed, and it became the worst business decision I ever made.

Let your broken heart create an open heart

As the sun is best seen at his rising and setting, so men's native dispositions are clearest seen when they are children, and when they are dying.

People will buy anything that is one to a customer.

Enough of anything is plenty, but plenty to some people is never enough.
