I'm born and raised in the Northeast. My parents are Irish immigrants. So our tendency is to shy away from the big yellow ball that comes up in the sky every once in a while.

Usually when you watch a film, you're just sort of biting your nails about things you could have done differently.

Let me tell you something: I love the Yankees. And let me tell you why: because without the Yankees, there is nobody to hate.

I'm one of the people that when I wake up I have to do what I do. It's not like I want to do it. I kind of have to do it.

It's important to have your own space. I've never trusted people who do everything together. I call them "Kool-Aid Couples," because it's like they drank the same Kool-Aid and it's drugged them into constantly gazing into each other's eyes.

All men hear is blah, blah, blah, blah, SEX, blah, blah, blah, FOOD, blah, blah, blah, BEER.

I like to give the actors freedom to take what we have on the page and improve on it. And they do that quite a bit.
