Most people don't like challenges at work. Actors love challenges at work.

I learned construction and carpentry from my father at a young age, so I felt very comfortable and I felt very satisfied when I worked in that field.

Dont listen to anybody. Nobody knows the magic bullet. If they did, theyd sell it and make a fortune. Follow your gut. Follow your instincts. Every once in a while, take a chance.

My favorite part about going to the gym used to be leaving.

Everybody works in a different way, and I've worked with actors that have no training whatsoever who are phenomenal.

The condom broke. I know how stupid that sounds. It's the reproductive version of the dog ate my homework.

But anything that can be called "rigor" is lost exactly where the things become interesting and non trivial.

The Jews are the master robbers of the modern age.
