My mom used to wear the fragrance Poison when I was younger, and I remember that scent and the purple bottle. That was my first [perfume] memory.

I guess, you make a big studio film, you spend a lot of money on it and you hope people go see it. It's really risky.

Viewers can hate a character and at the same time can't take their eyes off of him.

I'm proud of myself that I had the courage to experiment with crazy hairstyles and some fashion things.

I used to be more insecure about working, and I guess the older I get, the more rich my life becomes, I don't need to work as much as I used to. I mean, New York is a hard town to be in when you have nothing else to do besides show business. It's brutal, especially as an actor, because you sit around with this low - grade fever of anxiety, waiting for the phone to ring. Or waiting for something.

I've never directed anything before 'Mad Men,' so I don't feel I have any advice for the other directors.

If [being confident stems from] a self-esteem issue, it's important to embrace the things you might define as so-called imperfections - because something that you might call an imperfection, someone else might find so amazing and so beautiful. It's all in how you embrace yourself, your faults, and your mistakes in life. There's no better way to learn and become a better person than to go through those moments.
