I went through this very serious Woody Allen phase in college and a little bit after college. I still see his movies.
I actually have a thing about proper nouns. They clang on my ear in a weird way when I hear them dropped into movies.
Everyone has expectations. You just don't want to have them dashed, so you're quiet about them.
I find myself going out less and less. When you're 22 and see older people start to do that, it's depressing, but once you hit 30, you think, 'Wow, I've been working all week - it might be really nice to stay in!
Kindness is not about instant gratification. More often, it's akin to a low-risk investment that appreciates steadily over time.
It never made sense to me that someone would achieve any kind of success in show business, only to become a jerk.

We're like a gardener with a hose and our attention is water - we can water flowers or we can water weeds.
I'm not a masochistic reader. If something is just too dense or not enjoyable, even though I'm told it should be good for me, I'll put it down. That said, most of what I read would be considered high-end or good for you, I suppose. But, I also think that reading should be enjoyable.

After a brief period in which I had let many a Southern Californian convince me that it was all 'in my mind,' I am once again officially allergic to dogs.
Well, I stopped drinking. That was actually a big deal. I didn't go through any harrowing rock-bottom experience. I just made a decision to stop drinking.
You know, I'm not saying, 'Oh, because I play a good guy on TV, I need to suddenly be villainous in a movie.' I look at it more like: does this role has a kind of urgency for me in terms of, 'Can I not say no to it for whatever reason?'
