I always tell actors when they go in for an audition: Don't be afraid to do what your instincts tell you. You may not get the part, but people will take notice.

Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white first lady?

When you feel that you can't fight it, you just go for it. When it comes to the arts, passion should always trump common sense.

It's a very stressful thing, directing a movie. You have the budget, you have the schedule, you are in certain confines, and you have everybody giving you advice about what to do.

I have either a cucumber martini, gin martini, or a vodka martini. That's it. Simple.

I think that's what we love about the vodka, is that it's consistent. It's consistent in its pureness and that's how I tie it to restaurants.

I never walk into a place I don't know how to walk out of.
