Sometimes we spend more efforts with people that are strangers in terms of making an impression than the person that's closest to us. And you just got to remember not to take for granted that person that's closest to you.

I'm impressed with the people from Chicago. Hollywood is hype, New York is talk, Chicago is work.

I am a Jew. Those are four words of pride. My Jewishness is as deep as my genes.

When you're making pictures out of heartfelt passion, it hurts when someone calls them a calculated business move.

Relationships are like bubbles – they’re fragile.

I don't even know why, but my entire career is contemporary films. Entire career! There's no period movies - there's one - but there's no period movies, no special effects movies. I just do character studies and so, some of them are gonna bump into each other, but I love the challenge, with a good script. I love the challenge of playing not a very pleasant or attractive character that seduces an audience or wins an audience over by the end.

It's difficult for me to meet women because my crowd is much older. I know that for some of the young women I do meet, a relationship with me can be envisioned as a benefit to their career.
