I live in New York full time. I can't live in L.A., because I fear people think I'm a vagrant there.
I wish I had more control over my career, but making movies is something you do with lots of people.

Sometimes life drops blessings in your lap without your lifting a finger. Serendipity, they call it.
I don't necessarily consider myself a virgin, probably because I have such a penetrating personality

Dressing a baby is like putting an octopus into a string bag, making sure none of the arms hang out.
I think comics do need permission to fail. I think comics do need permission to go up and try stuff.

I love 'Boardwalk Empire.' I really love that world. I love that style. I love all the actors on it.
When I say I hate nostalgia, I hate things set in the recent past where everything is shiny and new.
When I was 18 I was an emotional wreck and I couldn't imagine having to deal with some kind of fame.
After many years of self-flagellation, I've realised that beating myself up doesn't get me anywhere.
I've played Hamlet and Coriolanus, Orlando in 'As You like It' and Ariel in 'Tempest,' among others.
