My favorite thing about New York is the people, because I think they’re misunderstood. I don’t think people realize how kind New York people are.
The more relaxed you are, the better you are at everything: the better you are with your loved ones, the better you are with your enemies, the better you are at your job, the better you are with yourself.
Common sense is like deodorant. The people who need it most never use it.
You can tell how boring a person is by the lack of fear in their eyes when someone is flipping through photos on their phone.
I'm suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog when it doesn't like a person.
Friendship is so weird. You just pick a human you've met and you're like, 'Yep, I like this one,' and you just do stuff with them.
People are like music, some speak the truth and others are just noise.
I feel that if you really want an Oscar, you're in trouble. It's like wanting to be married - you'll take anybody. If you want the Oscar really badly, it becomes a naked desire and ambition. It becomes very unattractive.

One of my gripes about movies is that people take them so seriously, and the moneymaking aspects are so brutal.
When I work, my first relationship with people is professional.
