I love working quickly. I don't like to do thousands of takes, and I don't want to do thousands of set ups.

I think so many families are touched by illness and loss, and we kind of overprotect our children often, you know, we sanitize.

I'm very happy with the opportunities I've had.

I just feel that getting out there physically and protecting New York, putting my arms around everyone and protecting them... to see this happen to our city and our community.

I have a very commercial appetite. I don't like to do high-brow things.

I am more of a New Yorker than ever and just actually, sometimes I fantasize about living somewhere else, where it's maybe not quite so crowded or stressful, blah, blah, blah and after September 11th, I guess I could just not imagine living anywhere else.

Once I put that wig on, I didn't say an intelligent thing for four months. My voice went up. I walked differently. I'd ask incredibly stupid questions.
