When I feel myself getting overwhelmed, I take a deep breath and eat a piece of chocolate.

I think winter wear is communal. You get some gloves and a scarf from a lost-and-found box, wash them, wear them for a while until you lose them. Then somebody else does the same thing

You ask any actor - they'll tell you they'd rather shoot on location because you don't have to invent the energy, the energy is there.

What is important is family, friends, giving back to your community and finding meaning in life.

It's enough to indulge and to be selfish but true happiness is really when you start giving back.

I'm one with New York, and New York is one with me. I grew up there; there's no escaping it. We're like Siamese twins, if you separate us, I'll die.

I don't like putting people on a pedestal, I think ideas are more exciting

I think, in a lot of ways, celebrities represent the American dream. They have financial fluidity and options at their disposal.

When you are dealing with real life, there is no way to control it.

I am happy to have success in the entertainment biz, but the root of my happiness comes from my neighborhood, NYC.

Everything I do, it's all about making every moment a quality, meaningful moment.

Our joy is not strapped by the confines of our present situation

Self-expression is an important requirement if you desire to make giant leaps in your career.

In reality, I'm happy without you and I'm less free with your presence.

Modesty and dew love the shade.

All I've ever needed is myself.

If only our great thinkers could learn to talk, and our great talkers could learn to think.

No one will do for you what you need to do for yourself. We cannot afford to be separate. We have to see that all of us are in the same boat.

When I have listened to my mistakes, I have grown.

I find the idea of common descent (that all organisms share a common ancestor) fairly convincing, and have no particular reason to doubt it.

And so it is with us; we serve as handmaidens to Death. When we are guided by His will, killing is a sacrament.
