Actors, you know, they're often awkward people in real life.

I didn't think that a career in theater was very realistic so I thought the only thing I could make money doing and still be somewhat artistic was, god help me, advertising.

I grew up in the Lower East Side of New York.

I'm misrepresented as a scary person. I'm not. It's all about my size and my eyebrows.

As soon as you know what you're doing, you're doing it wrong.

I think that everything I've ever done at some point is part of someone else's legacy.

I don't think I've ever been a huge target for the press, and I value that to a degree, because there's a certain value for actors staying beneath the radar so they can play characters.

Whether it's the best of times or the worst of times, it's the only time we've got.

The Republican Party is a composition of the members of the party and not just the leadership.

The debate is over. The scientific community has spoken in a virtually unanimous voice. Climate change is real. It is caused by human activity.

Girls are a distraction and can easily cost points.

I just want to keep writing music.

The best way I know of to win an argument is to start by being in the right.

The best clients in the world are the people who cause you to struggle.
