The worth of a life is not determined by a single failure or a solitary success.

I've got the Jewish guilt and the Irish shame and it's a hell of a job distinguishing which is which.

Dogs do have feelings. I gather.

But, I do think, on a very simplistic level, that we can project onto dogs because they are so innocent. They don't come with a lot of baggage.

We're all animals, but we're a different sort of animal. Maybe they're better than us. They're more loyal. They're more pure. They're more simple. They're not neurotic. Well, there are some neurotic dogs.

Most of the comedies I've done have been rather farcical and extravagant.

But you have to trust your instincts. Because you're not going to try it 20 different ways during rehearsal. You'll try it two or three different ways, maybe, but then you've got five other scenes you're shooting that day. You've got to keep going.
