I've worked with a lot of kids, and when you're working with kids they have certain hours that they have to work.

My m.o. as far as choosing projects is I really try not to work. I try to not do the scripts that are offered me.

I don't know how it is for women or for other guys, but when I was young and in my 20s, I had a fear of marriage.

So when you make an impression in a certain kind of role, that tends to be the type of role that you get offered.

Forgiveness is a sacrifice. You're giving up being right about something, whether you're right or wrong about it.

I don't think I'm a slacker, but I don't have aspirations to, like, conquer Hollywood. Or the world. Or anything.

Chicago's like Melbourne - there's a city center, there's public transport, and there's more of a cultural scene.

I did my New York debut at 21. It was “On the Town” at the George Gershwin Theatre. New York is my artistic home.

I don't believe in bad people. I believe that people, somewhere inside, have the potential to realize themselves.

150 people die every year from being hit by falling coconuts. Not to worry, drug makers are developing a vaccine.

I've been in California for about 15 years now. You're always in your car and insulated. I miss New York so much.

When I grew up, we went to Coney Island and Central Park. We'd find our way to the water and watch the fireworks.

You can win a talent show and be so famous that you can't walk down the street, but no-one knows you next Monday.

How can you work in film and still see the overt racism that exists in film and not just be furious all the time?

I got to L.A. in 2000, when we were coming off the '90s: women looked like men and the men all looked like women.

A man must pay the fiddler. In my case it so happened that a whole symphony orchestra often had to be subsidized.

I kinda taught myself how to play guitar, and I still play to this day. It's become a pretty big part of my life.

We're all weirdly single, middle-aged women with too much money who look to fill the void with too much shopping.

I don't care about being on top, about being No. 1. I just make movies for a few suckers in the audience, anyway.

No one should be allowed to stand for Parliament without proof that he has taken responsibility for other people.

If you are going into show business for money and power, forget it! It won't happen. You don't go for that first.

After nine or 10 years of being interviewed, you start wanting to team up with the reporter and get the job done.

I had a bike the first time I moved to L.A. I had a Honda and I got around on that. But I'd never ridden Harleys.

Me and music. Music was always my first love. It was my first love for sure. And still is a huge part of my life.

I never wanted to be the guy people looked at. I don't think of myself as being a celebrity; it's too mortifying.

You know, there's that temptation in interviews to make yourself sound - well, to give yourself a bit of mystery.

I used to attract a lot of feeders. I'd be quite happy to be locked in someone's flat and fed liquidised burgers.

I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. I've done it all. I've worked as a clown, literally, at children's parties.

I have yet to meet a person whose favorite movie is 'Gigli', but I hope to meet them one day and give them a hug.

I've got to follow in the footsteps of Sacha Baron Cohen and do a prank show, or a film with real elements to it.

Perfect first date would be coffee at Aroma talking for hours. That's when I would know to ask for a second date.

I am a bit of a domestic goddess to be honest. I am a clean freak so I love doing the hoovering and the cleaning.

I think in the wake of the domination of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, everyone is now looking for a grand plan.

There's always something to think about in terms of problems that are dark and important and immediate and scary.
