Actor

I love the Lower East Side.

I think there are ways in which shows can pop their heads up a little bit in the morass of everything you can watch.

Part of being an actor is letting things come about organically as opposed to forcing them.

I think the real heroic teachers are the ones who work with kids, like my mom and my sister do.

I've made so many mistakes. But it is my feeling that you learn from failures, so I welcome them as often as I can.

Willie Mays was the best ever. When I was in college I once made a catch like the one Mays made over his head. Sometimes when I'm lying in bed at night I think about it. It still makes me warm.

I'm very proud of my Scottish blood.

One of the great things about doing series television is the guest actors that you can have come on and play around with.

One of the scary things is that, when you're a kid, you look at your dad as the man who has no fear. When you're an adult, you realize your father had fear, and that you have it, too.

For hundreds of years, that was the major form of entertainment: The grown-ups sat around and watched the kids play. Now they sit around and watch the television. The actors are the kids.

You're raising a kid and you give it food and shelter and, most importantly, you give it the feeling that it's special. I think people react to celebrities like that - I mean, they treat celebrities like children.

I think of myself as more of a comic person. I don't know about a comic actor.

The happiest moment of my life was probably when my daughter was born.

I don't believe in a conspiracy to hide the existence of extraterrestrial life.

I don't know how anybody gets better at anything aside from doing it.

I lost my virginity when I was 14. And I haven't been able to find it.

Games, by nature, have more plot options and non-linear qualities than TV and film.

Well, I still write poetry, but I wouldn't call myself a poet.

I don't like watching people work if they're making art.

On the one hand, people think they own kids; they feel that they have the right to tell the kids what to do. On the other hand, people envy kids. We'd like to be kids our whole lives. Kids get to do what they do. They live on their instincts.
