I'm really an artist of feeling. I like creating things when it feels right.

New York is a fun town to go out in. During my twenties and into my thirties I had a good time partying, yes. But nothing where I woke up and I thought that I had a problem.

On the set of an independent film you can tell that nobody is doing it for the money. Everyone is there because they love the script. A smaller budget sort of unifies everyone; it's a real team effort and that's amazing. But these opportunities just don't present themselves that often for me, so basically any chance I get to do something different I jump on it.

Before you marry a person, you should first make them use a computer with slow Internet to see who they really are.

What about Santa's cookies? I suppose 'parents' eat those, too?

I've always associated consciousness with artists like Bob Marley or Joni Mitchell or Bob Dylan. You know, artists that really talked about what was going on in the world and really artists that are timeless.

I don't really have aspirations to be Tom Hanks.
