As an actor, I really like Philip Seymour Hoffman. I think he's a genius.

I met someone the other night who's 28 years old, and he hasn't worked a day since he left college because he's pursuing a dream he'll never, ever realize: He thinks he's a great singer. Actually, he's crap.

Praise a stranger with a few nice words and he becomes a stranger that calls you a friend.

I do a couple of hundred press-ups a day but I haven't been to a gym in years.

I'd say the most dangerous thing I've ever done is probably bungee jumping in Thailand...

There's an expression in life: "You can only make one first impression." And that first impression has to be spectacular. So, I wait, and let people see it when it's ready to go. It's not a set rule, but I think it's the better way of working. People will agree with you because of your track record, but you want people to like it because it's good, not because you found it.

I could just sit back and get someone to spin my achievements, I suppose, but when I see others do it, I always think, 'Why are you telling me how successful you are?' I am always suspicious of those kinds of boasts.
