I've got nothing against L.A. I think it is a really beautiful place. To be able to surf and get out in the Pacific Ocean every once in a while. The hiking, all of that is amazing. I love it there.

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.

Its the difference between instinct and intuition.

I was a writer. I just wasn't a very good one. I was lucky enough to have a playwriting teacher who told me that I'd be a better actor than I would a playwright.

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.

My publicist told me not to talk about politics but, yes, I think we have a president who stole the election.

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'm not that interested in working with impervious people.

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.

Believers believe in their own selves first- that’s the foundation for believing in others. For achieving anything, you have to have self confidence and faith in your own self.

When there is no owner, there will be an abuser.

No, no - I think about thinking

All work is seed sown. It grows and spreads and sows itself anew.

A true Southerner will never say in 2-3 words what can better be said in 10-12.

Hee that goes to bed thirsty riseth healthy.

It must be weird having one child.

The successful golfers - they're like astronauts or pilots. They have that demeanor that they can focus and stay within that one moment and nothing distracts them. That's not me.

Fantasy is the only canvas large enough for me to paint on.

Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird.
