I don't like watching people work if they're making art.

I don't make decisions based on money.

I don't mind close-ups, I like them, but they're kind of forceful - you see a lot, you get a lot of information in a close-up. There's less mystery.

I don't need my phone to play me music. I need it to be a phone and an e-mail thing.

I don't think I'd ever be cruel to an animal.

I don't think of myself as a TV actor. I think of myself as a film, television and Off-Off-Off-Off Broadway actor.

I don't want to know what happens in any movie that I go to see.

I drive an electric car.

I enjoy trying to figure out the best way to compliment the picture and not overpower it.

I envisioned that as my life: staying in academia to make a living and then taking summers off to write my novels.

I feel like I came to acting late in a way.

I had a fear that I'd be typecast, but I don't really have that fear anymore.

I had to work in one of the most beautiful ski resorts in the world for almost three weeks. Pity me.

I just spend my money on the essentials. Just basically food and shelter.

I like my computer. But I don't know how to use it as well as the 10-year-old daughter.

I love animals and I love working with them because they don't lie.

I love the Lower East Side.

I may be learning guitar, but I'll never be able to sing.

I mean, there's chemistry in life and there's acting chemistry. I'm not saying they're the same thing, but they're as mysterious.

I mean, you always want everybody to pat you on the back and tell you you're wonderful every time you do something; I think that's human nature.
