Sorted by Popularity


If I'm feeling something, I have a lot of different ways to express it, you know? I can write an article about it. I can write a screenplay about it. I can act in someone's thing.


It never made sense to me that someone would achieve any kind of success in show business, only to become a jerk.


We are so vocal about what we hate.


Time off from the news is always something I welcome.


It's really hard to be poor in New York - I was really poor when I lived in New York.


As a person, I'm anti-violence.


To write a story about New York that only deals with people in your age and socioeconomic bracket, that feels dishonest to me. So much of New York comes from everyone bumping into each other.


There's so much nonsense tossed around about L.A. and how horrible it is and 'don't go out there' and all that stuff. So I went out to L.A. and I was pleasantly surprised.


Sometimes I watch the broad comedies coming out of Hollywood and I think, 'You know, sex is a big part of people's lives, but is that really the only thing men are ever concerned about?' People are more complicated than they appear in film or television.

I'm a little less hungry as an actor than I used to be. When you're a director, you're the conductor of the orchestra, and when you're an actor, you're playing the violin. There's a thrill to each of them, but as the conductor, you get the fuller sound.


I think that the mark of a great book is that it will meet you wherever you're at and you'll feel and experience something new and different each time you read it.


I know not everyone starts out reading high literature. If you read enough you might be drawn to some other things, so maybe those vampire books are what they call 'gateway books.' I just coined that term. I don't know if there's a thing called 'gateway books.'


But, yeah, I'm really happy when I'm writing. When I'm being creative and when I have something that I can put down. You know, if you go out and you overhear a conversation or you have a thought, you have a receptacle to go home and say, 'Oh, this would be great in this script.' Your antenna's out in a different way, and I love that time.


What I write is very personal, but not autobiographical. It's more 'thematically personal' - what's up in my life in terms of themes at the moment.


We don't have a lot of space in our imaginations to allow people to expand what they do.


There are just things you can explore in a movie that you can't in 22 minutes with a laugh track.


The reflexive allergy to L.A. that a lot of New Yorkers have, I feel like it's kind of nonsense.
