What they say about TV shows is true. You're really a family. You laugh, you fight, you get close, you know? Movies are shorter. They're over quicker. You don't form the same bonds.

I find I have to be the sad clown: laughing on the outside, crying on the inside.

I'm an actor... I do a job and I go home. Why are you interested in me? You don't ask a truck driver about his job.

People don't know and they shouldn't know that you work incredibly hard as an actor.

I love hearing people laugh.

You know my feelings: every day is a gift. It's just, does it have to be socks?

I like idiotic comedies.

Standing in public in other people's clothes, pretending to be someone else. It's a strange way for a grown man to make a living.

Good writing will bring you to places you don't even expect sometimes.

I don't think I will do a Mafia character again. I want to get away from the violence a little bit, because it is starting to bother me personally.

For once I'm not the guy losing my temper all the time.

Opportunities loiter in every corner. Everyone may see them, but it’s only great leaders that stop by to give them lifts!

All things are subject to interpretation. Whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.

My dad liked to boil a squirrel head and suck the brains out the nose. Smaller than a chicken, bigger than a rat.

Our squalid society rushed, Narcissus to a man, to gaze on its trivial image on a scrap of metal.

In the past thirty years we have learned more about the workings of the human brain than in all of previous history.

We have even done a weekend on Japanese grammar! Not that I know anything about Japanese grammar, but it was Kaz's idea, and it was a bit of an adventure, to say the least.

I really get fired up with female protagonists. I can really feel the difference in myself when I am writing a script that has a woman at the center.

You cannot be completely nice. It's impossible. Who is it? Who is the perfect guy? Show him to me! It doesn't exist. And thank god.

See only that thou work and thou canst not escape the reward.

I love what I do professionally, I'm really blessed. But my priority is my husband and my children.
