One of the aims of sexual union is procreation - the creation by reproduction of an image of itself, of the union.

As a director, try to be humble and not to overdo it, not overcoverage and over-covering the scene.

When you fight on set, you try to not hurt anybody.

The thing I love about music is that you can take things that are painful, deep things that hurt you, and you can turn them into something beautiful.

We urge the Department of Justice to carefully investigate and aggressively prosecute all senior bank officials who participated in manipulating the London interbank offered rate throughout the financial crisis.

I was brought up to believe you should always live the most interesting life you can.

I was actually cut out of 'L.A. Story'... and rightfully so.

We are the ones that are trying to get Washington spending under control so it can live within its means.

True scholarship consists in knowing not what things exist, but what they mean; it is not memory but judgment.

When you DJ, you're just on your own, which is nice because there's no argument.

I don't discriminate against sushi. It's all good in my book.

Most people don't realize turkeys are friendly, they're social, they're loyal, they have emotions.

I have a growing resume, but it's because I'm very selective. There are a lot of actors in my position that are like me: they have an opportunity to make a lot of money early in their career, and they do that, and after that, there's nothing to sustain that. There's no art or interest in your craft from the people that want to see you.

For me, the most interesting people are ones who often work against their best interests. Bad choices. They go in directions where you go, 'No no no nooo!' You push away someone who is trying to love you, you hurt someone who's trying to get your trust, or you love someone you shouldn't.
