From Marilyn Monroe and beyond, that's a huge part of Hollywood, creating a persona that's mysterious and fairly simple, though it's interesting how that's changing: Now, you have fans who are like, "Um, yeah, I just emailed with Barack Obama and tweeted with Lady Gaga, so I'm kinda right there with you; give it to me."

I'm a New Yorker, so I have the sort of tough vein that's naturally bred into me. In general, I'm a nice person, and that seems to surprise people sometimes.

I always thought my jaw line was manly. I have this pockmark on my chin from when I was 9. I used to get freaked out about it because people thought it was a pimple. But those are the things I've become really comfortable with as I've gotten older. My scars.

I remember everyone asking, 'What did you do to get so thin? You looked great.' I looked emaciated.

When I was a kid, I had this idea that I would have a beard when I got older. I thought it'd be nice to rub my chin.

It's so much easier to get high than how scary it must be to see who you actually are and take responsibility for it. Denial is an easy place to live in.

Maybe you just have those impromptu conversations, or where all of the sudden you're standing on the corner waiting to cross the street and you notice three people looking up and you look up with them. And you all smile at each other because you're seeing a little piece of a rainbow between two buildings, and that little rainbow and you all just shared a New York moment, and that's awesome, and then you keep on in your way.
