I don't want to leave New York and leave my family. I don't like the distance. I just did a movie in California and it's kind of excruciating to be away from them so I think there is that sense.

It's rather rare when you play an older character in a movie in a supporting role to even get an arc.

I think indie films are really important, because they show the studios and the audiences when they see them, great stories. Really interesting, small stories.

I am a person who goes out without a purse.

Carbon dioxide pollution is transforming the chemistry of the ocean, rapidly making the water more acidic. In decades, rising ocean acidity may challenge life on a scale that has not occurred for tens of millions of years. So we confront an urgent choice: to move beyond fossil fuels or to risk turning the ocean into a sea of weeds.

I made fun of myself before everybody else could, so I always got the comic crowns: Freshman Fink, Sophomore Fairy, Junior Birdman. I got all three of them!

Don't depend on other people's encouragement. It's never enough and never when you need it.
