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.

I am incapable of conceiving infinity, and yet I do not accept finity.

Sometimes age succeeds, sometimes it fails. It depends on you.

Nobody knows what anticipation is anymore. Everything is so immediate.

My mom always told me, 'You're very smart; you're very funny.' She never told me, 'You're very beautiful.'

Learning something new is fun.

It is necessary that I am viewed as a product. I am a product.

Every soil does not produce every material.

Follow your own particular dreams. We are handed a life by peers parents and society you can do that or follow your own dreams. Life is short be a dreamer but be a practical person.

I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring.

In Puerto Rico we are used to a diet centered on rice, and so accustomed are our digestive systems to it, that on a day when we miss it, it seems as though we haven't eaten.

I don't care about the word 'pop'. The Beatles were pop; it's just what's popular.

And we live in a French Quarter a lot of the time, in New Orleans. And the camaraderie of everybody there. Everybody takes care of each other.

I created a foundation for poor children called Sinfonia por el Peru, where they play in orchestras and choirs, learn values and get away from the bad life, become better citizens in every aspect.

I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one.

The friendships I made on 'L.A. Law,' with the cast and Steven Bochco and David Kelley were really wonderful.

The Yardbirds sort of disbanded, and I was disappointed because I thought what we were doing was really good. I thought we were really onto something. I thought I was really onto something with these ideas that I had.

This is a world in which reasons are made up because reality is too painful.

You're lucky if I watch 10 minutes of wrestling a month. Most of the time, I channel surf, and I lose interest after a few minutes.

The Russians are taunting the IOC with the homophobic laws that they pass.

The choice that frees or imprisons us is the choice of love or fear. Love liberates. Fear imprisons.

Life is short and if you're looking for extension, you had best do well. 'Cause there's good deeds and then there's good intentions. They are as far apart as Heaven and Hell.

I love Louisiana, and I love being from there.

The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative.

The best thing you can do for yourself is live a life that's fulfilling and do all the things that make you happy.
