Sometimes I take a temperature of things just because everyone else does. Especially when I'm doing a play. I want to know what people are thinking, positive or negative.

I know I wasn't as handsome as some other guys, but I was OK with that.

All over the world, young men and young women will always dream dreams.

The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool.

The ambition, the drive, the wanting to be the center of attention, the wanting to succeed... They're all inside me somewhere.

I didn't go out looking for negative characters; I went out looking for people who have a struggle and a fight to tackle. That's what interests me.

Don't let people treat you like a cigarette, they only use you when they're bored and step on you when they're done. Be like drugs, let them die for you.

I work constantly but I work at a lot of different things. You know, I run a theater company in New York, I direct plays, act in plays, in movies, so I try to keep it eclectic.

No one wants to be pretentious about what they do or take it seriously, because that is just weird.

I think you should be serious about what you do because this is it. This is the only life you've got.

To be loved, I think, is the thing that gets you up in the morning.

Put the two of us together and we become like moonlight and fireflies... all burning and glowing and lighting up the night.

If I'm about to forget my kid's birthday, I want the phone to scream at me until I do something about it.

Beauty that shocks you, parts that none will trust, Wit that can creep, and pride that licks the dust.

I see screenwriting as a bit like a math equation which I have to solve.

When you first start working, you take whatever job is offered, because you have to build your resume. But you don't think about what you're building.

What, eBay isn't good enough for us?

Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you gotta do is call, and I'll be there, 'cause you've got a friend.

After being impaled by a javelin, while officiating- I'm doing fine now, just resting and hanging around.

Your kindness cannot be said. You open doors in the sky. You ease the heart and make God's qualities visible.
