Am I my brother's keeper? Yes. Interestingly, in my case, I share that honor with the Prospect Park Zoo.

You'll live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to.

I don't know enough to be incompetent.

Abysmal vermin that I am, I couldn't of course tell her that it was her incredible mother that I wanted to see again… I knew only as I drove through the cold, night autumn air that somewhere Freud, Sophocles and Eugene O’Neill were laughing.

I don't want to move to a city where the only cultural advantage is being able to make a right turn on a red light.

Life is full of moments that are good - winning a lottery, seeing a beautiful woman, a great dinner - but the whole thing is tragic. It's an oasis that is very pleasant.

In certain areas I don't function well and in other areas I function very well. I'm very good professionally. I have good discipline, I'm able to write every day and do films and not go six times over the budget. I mean I'm a coherent person, but I also don't like to go through tunnels when I travel. I'm claustrophobic.
