Even though I never worked with her, it was still really cool to have Brooke Shields on set. She was so nice and so funny.
I've kind of blocked it out, but a good friend affectionately reminded me that yes, I was a dork. I was not a cool kid in high school.
I think if you're too concerned with being cool or hip or liked, you can't really make good TV because sincerity and coolness are opposites.
The thing I've come to learn is that what's great about small independent films is the intimacy and the communication that occurs when you're making them.
I think sex is very interesting for most people, but I'm interested in sex as a way of communication, I'm not that interested in the fantasy version of a sex scene.
Mental communication without verbalization... all space is made up of waves and we are constantly sending and receiving messages from our brain.
I find that communication as an actor and person is an important part of who I am. And I'm really drawn into the psychology of those dynamics.
I heard a definition once: Happiness is health and a short memory! I wish I'd invented it, because it is very true.
I wish people could achieve what they think would bring them happiness in order for them to realize that that's not really what happiness is.
I think the secret to happiness is having a Teflon soul. Whatever comes your way, you either let it slide or you cook with it.
There once was a demographic survey done to determine if money was connected to happiness and Ireland was the only place where this did not turn out to be true.
You can undo a lot of things. If you're not happy, you can become happy. Happiness is a choice. That's the thing I really feel.
If you wait for the perfect moment when all is safe and assured, it may never arrive. Mountains will not be climbed, races won, or lasting happiness achieved.
I'm an inherently happy person. It comes from the inside, which means you can achieve happiness under any circumstance.
There's a charm, there's a rhythm, there's a soul to Jewish humor. When I first saw Richard Pryor perform, I told him, 'You're doing a Jewish act.'
I've always been really dark, and drawn to darker humor. Nothing has been forced, and I don't say anything for shock value.
Having a sense of humor has served me more than it has hurt me - just in the sense that it has allowed me to keep my sanity.
I've never used my weight to get a laugh. That is, used my size as the subject for humor. You never saw me stuck in a door-way or stuck in a chair.
Humor in a relationship is so important. Many women will say that. Some say, 'If they can make you laugh, it's the sexiest thing on earth.'
I'll let you in on a secret: I can't stand Jay Ward. I hate being compared to Rocky and Bullwinkle. It's just a different style of humor.
Congratulations, you have a sense of humor. And to those who didn't: Go stick your head in the mud.
