I wouldn't want to sacrifice the last years that I have of being youthful in this business to have kids.

[There is] type [of actors ]a true thespian who doesn't give a flying rat's ass what it is as long as it's deep, powerful, and painful, and they will dive in headfirst. I really respect those people. Meryl Streep is amazing at it.

I wish that something interesting would come across the desk. I'm bored by what people think is interesting.

I wanted to express myself. I wanted to be creative and I didn't want to worry about someone bossing me around in the process. You have to struggle no matter where you are to get to where you're going, so I'm like, working it honey!

The way I survived growing up in Jersey City was by being funny. It wasn't by being tough. Nobody thought of me as a tough kid, except for the kids I beat up.

I just never felt like I belonged anywhere. I always had a stick with a little knapsack attached.

You can keep knocking me down forever, I'll keep getting up and trying.
