In any profession, there's a sleazy side and an honorable side.

My best attribute is knowing when not to answer stupid questions.

People seem to get weirdly obsessed with my mouth.

I learned a lot about critics, not to really take them too seriously about movies.

A lot of my friends are struggling musicians. Being a struggling actor, it's just frustrating because you're not allowed to do what you want to do.

I love giving gifts and I love receiving them. I really like giving little kids extravagant gifts. You see their little faces light up and they get excited. If it's a really good gift, I love receiving it, like jewels, small islands.

I always find people who are unique very attractive.

Size counts. That's all.

My favorite part of a roller-coaster ride is when you're going up and you're slightly scared and really excited. You don't know what's coming next but you know it's going to be good. You can't handle it, go on the carousel.

Feeding is a very important ritual for me. I don't trust people who don't like to eat.

I was obsessed with Elvis Presley when I was little.

I would love to do a big studio movie, just because they're going to put the money into distributing it. A lot of times you do these little movies, you love them and they never get seen by anyone.

I don't have any blonde friends.

In any profession, there's a sleazy side and an honorable side.

I love cats. I have a lot of cat tales, ha ha, so to speak. A lot of my cats come to me. They show up at my house. I'm kind of a cat lady that way.

I feel like I still am struggling in a lot of different ways. I still have to fight for certain things. Certain jobs. At least I'm working and I'm thankful for that.

I've seen it too many times in Hollywood. Talking about a relationship in public can jinx it. And if you have your picture taken together, you might as well start packing your bags.

Lately, I've been a little sad that I'm not a gay man.

Struggling at anything that you want to be doing is hard.

I think the original Matrix was really incredible. It was so original and it did so many innovative things with film. It was a much bigger film. Bound was just a smaller film. It was kind of like an old noir film.

I usually just have one cat. It is difficult, but I have my one cat that he'll travel with me if it's appropriate, if I'm not going overseas.

You don't quite know how drunk you are until all of a sudden you're on the floor.

I think people stop themselves from doing the things they want to do. I just think you never know how long you're going to be around so you might as well do the things that are intriguing. Nobody really cares anyway so you have to do what makes you happy.

Actresses are nightmares. I don't hang out with any of them. That's a problem with my profession. I try not to be like an actress.

I think smart is sexy. I like smart people. People that are comfortable with themselves I think is very sexy. My cat is really sexy.

When Bound was released, Boys don't Cry wasn't out yet. Therefore it was very taboo to play a lesbian. I loved the part, because girls never get to play the typical guy parts.

I did the cover of Cigar Aficionado, so I'm supposed to talk about loving cigars. I've smoked them a couple of times. My father used to smoke cigars. I love the idea and the concept, and I love the smell of cigars.

The critics tend to forget their own answers after a while.

I'm involved in Project ALS which is trying to get money for stem cell research. That's one I've been pretty involved with because if you can cure that, you can cure so many other diseases.

You dont quite know how drunk you are until all of a sudden youre on the floor.

A man must be strong in that profession, he must have vigor of body and mind, yet I am all out of breath if I walk up a hill; I have not the heart to crush even a fly.

The Epistle is a correction of profession without life, and most valuable in this respect.

They must have a feeling of do or die. It is such an overcrowded profession.

I'll be damned if I am not getting tired of this. It seems to be the profession of a President simply to hear other people talk.

Acting is the perfect idiot's profession.

Reality is, I'm an actor and an entertainer, and I really wouldn't know what to do with another profession.

I think one of the greatest joys I have now in my career and in my profession is to be playing at an age where I can appreciate it more than I used to... It's a whole different lens you look through the older you get.

My parents and grandparents have always been engaged in teaching or the medical profession or the priesthood, so I've sort of grown up with a sense of complicity in the lives of other people, so there's no virtue in that; it's the way one is raised.

We have indeed at the moment little cause for pride: as a profession we have made a mess of things.

Twenty years ago I wanted to move to a nice place so our Charley would grow up a nice boy and learn a profession. But instead we live in a jungle, so he can only be a wild animal. D'you think I picked the East Side like Columbus picked America?

Politics I supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.

Acting is the most brotherly and sisterly profession in the world.

When I joined the band, being that I was going to take this up as a profession, I realized that there were no two finer guitar players in the world that I'd rather play with.

In Hungary acting is a profession. In America it is a decision.

Journalism is a kind of profession, or craft, or racket, for people who never wanted to grow up and go out into the real world.

Never the less, at the age of fifteen, having never seen a writer, a poet, a publisher or a magazine editor, and having only the vaguest ideas of procedure, I began working on the profession I had chosen.

One of the big draws of the show is here's a guy who is ordinary in a lot of ways but, due to his profession, he's placed in extraordinary situations that he has to make right with action and with thought. That's what is appealing about Jack - he takes charge.

Politics, as a practice, whatever its profession, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.

The development of the comedy club industry destroyed the uniqueness and intimacy of the profession but it also created jobs for comics and bred some great performers.
