Yes, Im a New Yorker, born and bred. While Im not quite the L.A. snob that Woody Allen is, I do find myself happier in New York.

I believe that love that is true and real creates a respite from death. All cowardice comes from not loving, or not loving well, which is the same thing.

It's funny I'm in some ways hopelessly masculine, but I don't fish, I don't hunt, I'm not that into sports. I can't fix a car. I think it's my point of view and the way I see the world.

I'm an actor, in particular, that likes to have a mask or something that can help me distance myself from the character. Like the moustache or an accent.

I don't know an actor who hasn't let himself down at some point. I imagine it's the same in politics. There's always the potential to self sabotage.

It's sort of cliche, but when you're playing drunk, your character is trying to appear sober.

I really feel incredibly fortunate to not be stereotyped. And it's something that I and my representatives are very keen on preserving.

I don't know how to play myself. I'm not interested enough in myself. That's just not how I was educated. That's not how I learned to become an actor. Acting is creating a character.

Having an opportunity to play different characters, and work in different mediums, that's what's fun. The worst question you could be asked is, "What do you like better, film, television or theater?"

Bad criticism has followed things like comic books or TV, and they put down a medium. A medium cannot be inherently good or bad.

Certain media attracts more pulpy or low-brow things, especially when they're young. Finding the best story, in any particular medium, is going to be as good, in any other medium.

I LIKE my Food.

Never wade through the pretty ripples of perpetually flowing rivers, until you have looked at their lovely waters, and prayed to them, and washed your hands in the pale enchanting water.

Not out of mere charity, but because peace in our time requires the constant advance of those principles that our common creed describes; tolerance and opportunity, human dignity and justice.

But I know how this romantic stuff works: one girl's perfect guy is another girl's reject. And right now I'm glad of it.

How shall we praise the magnificence of the dead, The great man humbled, the haughty brought to dust?

We are always in transition.

Sometimes you have to bring back only the steering wheel so the car owner will know that you're giving it all you have.

Man to the last is but a froward child; So eager for the future, come what may, And to the present so insensible.

A smile from an attractive woman at a bar very rarely ends up in any sort of sexual encounter. But a man is a fool not to push the suggestion as far as it will go, and he's that man.

Know what suits you. Now I understand proportion and recognise the shapes that look good on my figure.
