No critic ever changed the world.
The truth is, ever since I was little, I've wanted to be an actor more than I ever wanted to be a movie star.
I made mistakes. I let other people influence me and make decisions, sometimes without my knowledge.
I like being independent; I like doing things myself. I'm an instinctual person.
A lot of people think I'm snotty. So what? They never asked me out when I was serving cheeseburgers.
I learned one thing from De Niro: He taught me to listen. Nobody says anything strictly from the script. It's improvised. It was the best piece of advice I have ever gotten in my life. It has helped me through the past thirty years.
Sometimes you get caught up living something that's not true. The people around you, the people you're involved with, are not the right people.
Your inner being is he who men call God.
Hello. . . 911? I'd like to report a robbery, looks like Trish and Tomko stole the show!
One thing I had on my side when it came to How to Make It in America is that I'm a born-and-raised New Yorker. Filming in New York. . . I'm so thankful and humbled by the whole experience. A lot of it takes place in old neighborhood; I'm an East Village kid, so I get to see my old friends from the neighborhood, my family still lives there.
I don't do a lot of top-down teaching.
