My family is certainly very vocal. They're very Italian. A lot of our holidays end with people screaming at each other across the room. And everyone's very opinionated and intelligent. A lot of my aunts and uncles are wildly educated, and their opinions reflect that. We're all very liberal.
I love getting to be in 'The Avengers.' You just breathe a little bit. It's not all about you. It's so nice to have other people bearing the burden of responsibility.
In all our surveys, the students keep saying: 'Yep, we love it, but can we have more regional classes or can we see the lecturers more?
I'm much more starstruck by athletes than I am by actors, and I think I saw Kobe Bryant at a basketball party, and I just kind of froze. He's monstrous.
I like the feeling of making things. It's very very rewarding. And filmmaking is that type of experience, where you're forced to collaborate with so many people. You're involved in the beginning to end, you're involved with so many elements, and when it's done, you're like, 'I made this movie.'
I like 'Notting Hill.' If you can do a movie that's simple, but do it well, there's room for that.
I like human stories. I like stories about situations we can relate to. I like movies like 'Ordinary People' or 'Terms of Endearment.' Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, boyfriends, girlfriends. The stories to me that are worth telling are almost simple ones, but very relatable.
I like girls who aren't so la-di-da. L.A. is so la-di-da.
It's starting to look like we're going to have to beg the county to split up some of their districts.
I'm down but not out. I want to get back to work and whatever I decide to do, it'll be big.
If making movies was easier, there'd be a lot more good movies. So you kind of learn that if it's just a good script, or if it's just a good producer, that's not always enough. You need an entire team of creative people coming together.
I'm not trying to steal the show. I tend to shy away from - I don't want to say the spotlight - how about responsibility? It's just very daunting. These movies are very intimidating. 'Captain America.' This is the stuff I struggle with.
I've learned a lot this year. You have to be willing to work hard and sacrifice a lot of things on and off the court. I guess I kind of gave up that scoring ego and tried to be as effective on defense as I can.
Any time you make a movie where you're living in a certain head space for an extended period of time, it's tough not to take a little piece home with you.
