You have film actors doing TV, rap stars doing TV, with everyone kind of crossing the line.

A true friend is someone who says nice things behind your back.

There've been many a season where I couldn't get work, and I think that you learn character development and you learn how to really want what you do in life when you can't really do it.

Why are you messing with the fantasy? We know about the reality. Don't ruin the fantasy, OK?

I think that obstacles lead to growth and ultimately, the most learning I've done in my life is between jobs.

It's funny, like 15 years ago when I was a kid doing all the John Hughes movies, I remember Bruce Willis was the only guy who was transitioning from television into film.

years later, it's all the TV stars with the film deals, whether it's the cast of Friends or That '70s Show now with Ashton and other people doing stuff.

I think in both of those situations, it's important as an actor to learn, despite the success I had as a kid, that it's important to understand what it means to be a small fish in a big pond.

First of all, it was in my contract. I knew I would be directing an episode.

I think my favorite, and Coppola and that whole thing. East coast Italian directors I guess.

That, we encourage, and I think we're doing a pretty good job with the website and also the DVD, like the first season came out and the second season's being prepared now.

You must seek to thyself.

She hugged me and I could feel the heat rise in my face, either from shame or love, like there was a difference.

I've always been inspired by artists who have shown musical and intellectual curiosity and the courage to take risks.

No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world.

If you try to measure the future, you will never risk the present. Playing it safe. A ghastly game.

All central beliefs on human matters spring from a personal predicament.

It is human nature to want to exchange ideas, and I believe that, at bottom, every artist wants no more than to tell the world what he has to say.

People who do not get into scrapes are a great deal less interesting than those who do.

A man who marries at my age isn't taking a wife, he's indenturing a nurse.

Any joy, creativity or wisdom our next moment brings will ensue from the way we live our present one.
