Your crew becomes your family and you trust the director and the other actors on the set, and it's a very safe place.

For me writing and acting all comes out of the same place, a compulsion to review and connect to something. For me they are more similar than different.

When I was a teenager, if you'd asked me, I would have said I was in a relationship with New York City. It was my first real love.

I started playing music when I was really young.

Even though New York may be a more inspiring city, I get more inspired thinking of L.A., in a way. My life there was so much more simple in mind, and quiet.

One of the benefits to television is that you're with these characters for years, you know them so well.

I think songs and visuals are so evocative of each other.

I think children in general have a very hard time - at least I did - expressing any pain because I didn't want to hurt the people that I loved.

Everyone in my family is an artist. Both my parents are painters and my mom's an opera singer. I was never shown any other way to process life.

I think in L.A., in terms of the music scene, it's a really strange place. It's really hard to get the feeling that something's happening, or the feeling that something can make it out of there.

The future is not what you will live tomorrow but the future is what you live today so that tomorrow you can be able to look at today and say I have lived.

If we love our country we should also love our countrymen.

What the hell has Hoover got to do with it? Besides, I had a better year than he did.

There can be no doubt that Saddam Hussein has biological weapons and the capability to rapidly produce more, many more.

A cultural snob is someone who claims to be familiar with the incomprehensible.

People think of us as an information distributor because that's how they relate to the Internet. But most of the time people already have pretty well established opinions.

When all your favorite preachers are gone, and all their books forgotten, you will have your Bible. Master it. MASTER IT!

There is only one object on earth that frightens me: a physicist working on a new trick.

I attended the public schools.And I have happy memories and strong memories of those days and good memories of the good sense and the decency of my friends and my neighbors.
