I'm not a big fan of the post-Armageddon stories, where Denzel Washington is walking around in a torn coat.

I've been to many funerals of funny people, and they're some of the funniest days you'll ever have, because the emotions run high.

When I was younger, I wasn't concentrating on good days. I was managing a career and trying to have a good year. It would always 'lead' to something, which never leads to anything except death, where everything leads to. And then as I got older, and then I had my kids and everything, I began to appreciate a great Wednesday.

I don't experience basic human emotions. It's not my thing.

There's always the standard six people you can hire that have played all these villains in Hollywood. Instinctively, when they come on screen, you know what's going to happen. You don't know the story, but you know what they do.

My mother was supportive without knowing it. Deep down she wanted all the right things, she just didn't see the world like I did, and she's not supposed to.

It's interesting when you're part of a group - the Jews, to be exact - that the world has had such problems with.
