I had to work in one of the most beautiful ski resorts in the world for almost three weeks. Pity me.
If my work was good enough, I would never have to do publicity.
I love the ocean, wide-open space and trees, but I'm not a gardener or anything like that. I think I may be, eventually. I was raised in the city, so I don't have that skill set, but my heart is more with the dirt than the concrete. It's an unrequited love with nature - a one-way love affair.
I love the Lower East Side.
I envisioned that as my life: staying in academia to make a living and then taking summers off to write my novels.
You can go through life and actually speak your mind and do it in an articulate fashion and with a really intelligent point of view.
I just spend my money on the essentials. Just basically food and shelter.
I think we all choose our style from the ether and whatever is out there.
On the one hand, people think they own kids; they feel that they have the right to tell the kids what to do. On the other hand, people envy kids. We'd like to be kids our whole lives. Kids get to do what they do. They live on their instincts.
'The X-Files,' as I recall, we didn't know really what we were until the middle of the first year. You know, so if we'd been cancelled, you get cancelled before you mature into what it is you can actually be, which is too bad.
Part of being an actor is letting things come about organically as opposed to forcing them.
When I grew up, I was in Manhattan the whole time. But my kids have been all over the world.
I don't like the idea of being eaten by a shark. I like to swim in the ocean, and I think much more about sharks than anyone should. I really resent the fact that my oceangoing experiences are ruined by 'Jaws.'
I've made so many mistakes. But it is my feeling that you learn from failures, so I welcome them as often as I can.
I don't make decisions based on money.
I really enjoy taking an outdoor shower.
I don't know how anybody gets better at anything aside from doing it.
I don't want to know what happens in any movie that I go to see.
A lot of times passion projects or films are difficult to make because they don't have proven directors attached to them.
I think patience is a skill and I wish I had it.
