Whether it's on top of a phone booth or a $200 million soundstage, it's about stories.

No matter what the role, you're trying to do the impossible - make a living in show business.

I love playing a dad. It's hard to find family dramas that are genuinely funny.

My eyebrows make a more profound impact on other people than they do on me. I just let 'em grow.

I made my Broadway debut in the revival of Hair and followed it up with the bus and truck tour of Grease.

Around 5th and 6th grade I thought Dean Martin was the coolest guy in the world; he was a great singer, had his own television show and acted in movies.

I feel like I won the Lotto, as far as that show's concerned.

In an attempt to amuse my friends and family, I would do impressions of Dean Martin, singing Everybody Loves Somebody. I secretly really enjoyed singing the song.

I was about to get a degree in economics when I accepted that I'd be a lousy businessman, and if I didn't give acting a try I'd regret it for the rest of my life.

I was probably 11 by the time I saw a movie.

Two women? God, man. Well, I'm still living. So clearly I must've gotten away with it, when I did do it. But I don't think it's time to blow my cover now.

I always go back to theatre. It's probably where I'll draw my last breath.

There have been makeup artists who've asked if my eyebrows are real.

By year three, you get nicer, bigger trailers.

When I came up, guys like Nicholson and DeNiro were held in highest regard.

Through every moment on stage for the first time, I felt like I was finally right where I belonged.

You can only be stupid when you're young.

The state of Alaska has a minimum wage which is higher than the federal level because our state leaders have made that determination.

Color can do anything that black-and-white can.

In a way, Jersey really supports rock, maybe more than New York City and Long Island. I know plenty of bands that tour and do much better at Starland or other clubs in New Jersey than others in the tri-state area.

It is an awfully sad misconception that librarians simply check books in and out. The library is the heart of a school, and without a librarian, it is but an empty shell.

An ordinary black hole is thought to be the end state of a really massive star's life.

I was one of those children forced into fighting at the age of 13, in my country Sierra Leone, a war that claimed the lives of my mother, father and two brothers.

It is impossible to think of a world in which America was not there in the honorable service of humanity.

We have to confront the very scary fact that the president is a moron. He's really dumb.

Follow the wisdom of the great actor, James Cagney, you hit your mark, you look the other guy in the eye, and you tell the truth.

My Ready-Mades have nothing to do with the 'objet trouve' because the so-called 'found object' is completely directed by personal taste. Personal taste decides that this is a beautiful object and is unique.

When we're recording, I always dress up.

I think everything's experimental whether you like it or not. I think that people who do generic pop are experimenting with cliches. It's no less than I am experimenting with noise or unknown music - until you say, 'This is my song, or this is my composition' - it's all experimental, whether you like it or not.

I always say I never felt 'latched' to a gender. I just kind of always felt like myself, and I never felt like I had to do certain things or be a certain way to fit into a certain mold.

All of my favourite albums have this incredible amount of conceptual glue to them, even if they are not telling a story.

I teach a course in screenwriting at Columbia, but I've never taken a course and I've never read a book about it!

Leadership can not be measured in a poll or even in the result of an election. It can only be truly seen with the benefit of time. From the perspective of 20 years, not 20 days.

Wheres the glory in repeating what others have done

It's clever, but is it Art?

Our business is all about helping someone - a founder, a CEO - building a great business. It's not about seeing our names in the press.
