I really love Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Edward Norton. I also like Ryan Gosling and Rick Bentley. And of the girls I like Naomi Watts and Juliette Binoche, and I would like to work with...

It's always nice to meet friends of friends.

I like to take on a different role every time or else I make myself bored.

I like to do projects that are off-the-wall and on top-of-the-wall.

Human life is just dangerous, in general. You know, waking up in the morning, you could get hit by a car. Wherever you go, you could choke on a fish bone and die. You never know.

I also love a film by Ang Lee - "Lust, Caution."

I kind of feel connected to all places at the moment, and I've done very interesting projects in both places (Israel and America).

However, obviously Israel is a much smaller place in terms of population. There are only 6 million people in Israel, where there might be 6 million people in one city in America.

In America, everything is big and more like a jungle.

I'm very picky and I'm very critical.

I also like Juliette Lewis - I think she's great.

Androids were never meant to dream.

I'm sick and tired of having a forest and a torture chamber in my house... I want to have a nice quiet flat with ordinary doors and windows and a wife inside it, like anybody else!

The evening sings in a voice of amber, the dawn is surely coming.

I only please myself. I figure I'm just one of many people. I'm not that different from anybody else and I don't have great language - I'm very ordinary.

Gods are fragile things, they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense.

I understand that that's the theory of the case for [Donald] Trump supporters and it's what Donald Trump says, and it's possible that that is actually the case.

When I was 18 I was an emotional wreck and I couldn't imagine having to deal with some kind of fame.

In an economy where the only certainty is uncertainty, the one sure source of lasting competitive advantage is knowledge.

The only victory that counts is the one over yourself.

To my mind, the prose in a non-fiction work that's going to endure has to be of the same quality as the prose in a work of fiction that endures.
