I'm one with New York, and New York is one with me. I grew up there; there's no escaping it. We're like Siamese twins, if you separate us, I'll die.

The future of cinema and communications is all about collaboration and the decentralized control of storytelling. We're all part of the story; we can all contribute and participate.

I am happy to have success in the entertainment biz, but the root of my happiness comes from my neighborhood, NYC.

You ask any actor - they'll tell you they'd rather shoot on location because you don't have to invent the energy, the energy is there.

My wish list is pretty short. I wish that we had empathy. As a society, we are so wrapped up in our own artificial creations that we have become disconnected from one another and the wonder of our natural world. I truly believe that empathy is the key to solving the majority of our environmental and social problems.

I can play a lot of things, but I haven't mastered any one. I use music really as a form of raw expression; escape from the real world.

It's enough to indulge and to be selfish but true happiness is really when you start giving back.
