History's one great lesson is that reactionaries are losers.
Going out with other actors is never good; actresses are neurotic, and actors are horrendous egotists.
Being at the genesis of the creative process is definitely something I want to keep doing. It's just such a great buzz.
Beyonce is the most amazing woman in the world.
I definitely enjoy an audience, when I'm performing. As I get older I'm kind of less comfortable at being demonstrative. I always fancied myself as a raconteur, but that never really worked out.
Success is absolutely intoxicating. I've seen people behave in ways that seem very far from how they would behave normally.
I like the idea of people having romantic tendencies towards a place they don't know that well. I think it's great. Why not? My dad's view of New York is very similar to Americans' when they talk about Ireland.
I am not now That which I have been.
I contemplate the notion that maybe regrets are a process of accumulation of time, as unavoidable as a closet full of clothes and more bags of them in the attic. Is accumulated baggage what makes people get old? If so, they need to clean out their fecking attics, send the stuff to consignment shops and remember how to walk around naked like kids, little bellies sticking out, always ready for a good laugh.
Criticism does not make you smarter or better than the one you are criticizing. In fact, the stuff you are critical of in others is the same stuff you don't like about yourself.
Be yourself. The world worships the original.
