I'm a huge poster collector.

I wore a lot of vintage clothing. I dressed like a reporter, with a little card in my hat. I had these fantasies of who I wanted to be, so I'd dress like an explorer, a cowboy. I dressed up like Elton John a lot too. That was another period.

It was an interesting way to come across in my first big role. To work with Robert DeNiro was very exciting.

I love anything to do with ventriloquism and magic.

We were big Saturday Night Live and Eddie Murphy fans.

I want to be an animated character. I'm also doing more writing and directing.

God only knows what else is on the web about me.

I've done a few studio films in the last few years where I feel like I've done good work, and then I only end up in two scenes. That's been very disappointing.

I come from a pretty strange family.

It's nice to see a movie where people are actually succeeding.

I know as I'm taking my dying breath, the ambulance guy will ask me why they cancelled Action.

I like doing movies that relate to people's experience.

I love sketch comedy. My real goal is to do something with Albert Brooks. That would be my fantasy. I stay up night and day thinking up stuff he might find funny.

I'm a huge poster collector.

I'm a big fan of Albert Brooks, Nichols and May. I'd like to follow in their footsteps and do comedy films.

There's too much insecurity on studio sets, with all the people standing around, whispering.

I always wanted to get into the horror genre. I like scary movies. I want to go to the fan shows and sign posters with my head hanging by a thread like a B-movie actress.

I loved the idea of the Nerd as Hero, which Ghost World also had.

In high school, my goal was to be a writer for SNL, then I got into the acting.

I met Patricia Neal, John Houseman. But I loved my grandfather because he was this kind, talented man.

When I do a character, I try to base it on someone I have met or an experience I've had.

I like the idea of capturing people who aren't there to save the world.

When we were doing a scene, lots of times we would collapse giggling, because it seemed so silly because it felt like we were doing a home movie at times.

The best situation is where they cast you and then they trust you.

I had an obsession that I was male characters from movies.

The painter who feels obligated to depict his subjects as uniformly beautiful or handsome and without flaws will fall short of making art.

Occupy Wall Street is a real movement.

I had a lot of success from the start. I never really was tested for long periods of time. I got my first professional job while I was a senior in college. I signed with the William Morris Agency before I graduated.

I was very against pink and purple when I was young, because they were girls' colors. But that was only because I didn't want people to write me off for what I can do. When I got into my 20s, I decided that was stupid.

I am a writer, which means I write stories, I write novels, and I would write poetry if I knew how to. I don't want to limit myself.

Obviously, Kanye and I are very different in the way we express ourselves publicly. He's so passionate... about art, about culture, about creativity. And he's really good at it. And that honesty manifests itself in ways that are not politically correct, not socially acceptable sometimes.

My mother features quite heavily in a lot of my songs.

When one guy is doing good, it makes all the others want to achieve greatness.

There's always something coming. Good or bad, it's gonna help you to grow.

Money is a very important tool to make a big difference in people's life. It is positive or negative depending on the values.

You have to be respectful of pop culture, because people interpret it in the way they want.

The thing with brothers is, you're supposed to take turns being the keeper. Sometimes you get to sit down and be the brother who is kept.

When I was 16 and arrived in France, I discovered chocolate mousse. I was crazy about the bread, too. Every morning, I'd go to the bakery and get a fresh croissant. It made me feel very sophisticated.

When the gate drops, it's time to try and execute the best you can.

I'm acting when I serve as a hostess, when I run my wig business. I was born to act, and life itself is the greatest part.

The secret of staying young is to live honestly eat slowly and lie about your age.

The executive moves we are announcing today will strengthen American for the long-term future and reflect well on the depth of the Company's management team.

That which is striking and beautiful is not always good, but that which is good is always beautiful.

Very few men can fall as far as I have and come back. People see me and it's like they've seen a ghost, like I'm back from the dead.

You were born a child of lights wonderful secret you return to the beauty you have always been.

Why do I write? From selfishness. Because this state of liquefied, complex concentration, however faintly and dimly I'm able to perceive it, is the greatest pleasure I know.

My imagination can picture no fairer happiness than to continue living for art.
