I am lactose intolerant, and I always thought it was really funny how people who are lactose intolerant continue to eat dairy, because they like it so much. And I find it not acceptable.
Kids seem to get me when I play colleges - they like it because I go after them. They'll come up after and say I am like their dads, only funny.
I am God's wheat, and I shall be ground by the teeth of beasts, that I may become the pure bread of Christ.
I try to put all I am as a person into what I do. My intelligence, my emotion. I've done that in everything.
A man doesn't cry. In my life, I've never cried. I cannot do it. I am a man. How will I cry?
I think we all have our own mission, duty, fate in life so for me somehow I think I am always walking on the edge of life and take risks.
I write from real life. I am an unrepentant eavesdropper and a collector of stories. I record bits of overheard dialogue.
I rarely joke unless I'm in front of a camera. It's not what I am in real life. It's what I do for a living.
I really don't work a whole lot as far as touring, but I do stand-up every night of my life, no matter where I am.
I gave my life to the Group Theatre, because in it I'm building something for myself. What I build, I am.
The longer I live, the more I am enabled to realize that I have but one life to live on Earth, and that this one life is but a brief life, for sowing, in comparison with eternity, for reaping.
I am a public person and I have my private life. It's important for me that my private life stay private, that what I share with the people is my public personality.
I think I am a travel junkie, and I have never enjoyed anything else in my life more than travelling and going to places.
I have never been afraid to go a bit out there with what I am wearing on film. I tend to be a bit more conservative in real life, with mountains of black in my closet.
Look, I play all these tough guys and thugs and strong, complex characters. In real life, I am a cringing, neurotic Jewish mess. Can't I for once play that on stage?
I am starting to get into this whole idea of caring about what I wear. There was a time in my life when I could not care less about fashion.
I suppose I am one of life's naturally clumsy people; I don't drop stuff all the time, or break things, but I'm just generally a bit flustered.
I think how Chicago plays a role in my life - it had such a role in my youth and the decisions that I made as a kid and formulated who I am as an artist early on.
I really went back through a lot of the dark corridors of my life in this. I wanted people to know who I am based on my music, not on what they read in the tabloids.
I have had a very singular kind of life since I started working so young, so I am very used to traveling, working, taking time for myself.
I have sung for Americans of every political persuasion, and I am proud that I never refuse to sing to an audience, no matter what religion or color of their skin, or situation in life.
