I think midlife crisis is just a point where people's careers have reached some plateau and they have to reflect on their personal relationships.
I smell varmint poontang. And the only good varmint poontang is dead varmint poontang, I think.
Yeah, I think that's sort of the American way. And it's also the Polish way, it turns out.
I think romance basically starts with respect. And new romance always starts with respect. Like the song 'Love the One You're With'; there is something to that. It's not just make love to whomever you're with, it's just love whomever you're with.
I kinda like this Jay-Z thing, where he's retired, but he keeps doing shows. I think I beat him to that. If you say you're retired, people don't bother you so much, and then if you want to do something, you can do it.
I think if you can take care of yourself, and then maybe try to take care of someone else, that's sort of how you're supposed to live.
I think that the online world has actually brought books back. People are reading because they're reading the damn screen. That's more reading than people used to do.
Don't think about your errors or failures; otherwise, you'll never do a thing.
My favorite thing about New York is the people, because I think they’re misunderstood. I don’t think people realize how kind New York people are.
If you have a good script, that's what gets you involved. It's harder to write a good screenplay than to find something.
I'm just a potato that won't quit. I'm a potato with some legs. Some have eyes, I've got legs.
I don't really read the reviews - but I remember one I read a long time ago that said I had a face like a potato.
The way financing for independent movies goes is great. You get the money from the guy who's actually doing the distribution in France. You say, "Do you want a piece of this movie?" And he's got to sell this movie to get his money back. That's the brains of it; that's the genius of this financing. "You want Germany? Give us a million dollars and you've got Germany."
I don't feel like it's pressure. It's more of an obligation - not to entertain or be funny, but to have a certain levity. I mean, there's got to be a lightness in your leg. You have to be as light as you can be, and you don't have to be weighted down, stuck in your emotions and stuck in your body, stuck in your head. You just want to try and elevate something.
