As an actor, you have to be open to doing things where you look stupid, to be experimental.

First rule of magic? Always be the smartest guy in the room.

In New York, everybody is their own celebrity, so they're not so interested in other people.

The only way to be turned off to being famous is to be famous.

I live in New York City, where, if you're in a movie at a popular independent theater, you think you're king of the world, because you're in a bubble. So there's no way for me to properly conceive of the attention that the movie gets in a way that doesn't make me confused.

I know some amazing actors who are not mortified every moment of the day, so my feeling is that maybe you don't have to be a wreck to be good.

It's a struggle for me to watch things I've been in because I'm just distracted and self-critical.
