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?"

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.

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 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.

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.

My message behind this album was finding the beauty in imperfection.

I'm tired of playing the brat.

You know, it's an interesting think when you consider... The Earth people, who can think, are so frightened by those who cannot: the dead.

Most of your desires are not really about yourself. You just picked them up from your social surroundings.

From the time we're born, our brothers and sisters are our collaborators and coconspirators, our role models and our cautionary tales.

Surely it's better to love others, however messy and imperfect the involvement, than to allow one's capacity for love to harden.

I love history. Everything is inspired by history, so that's why I love vintage and antiques.

I also love to surf the Net and talk on the phone with friends.

High politic is only common sense applied to great things.
