I have touched coral, and it feels hard like a rock, with a little slimy thing on top of it. But it is better to not touch coral, to prevent damaging it.
I'm a sensitive guy; I respond to things that make my eyes well up a little bit, or make me root for people. I find the human condition interesting.
The heel is engineering in itself. This little thing that supports the human weight has to have a precise balance.
When I was a little kid, I loved imagining things. I'd go outside and put on a cape and just imagine I was somebody else.
I think you have to do certain things in the pilot to get your network's attention - to break through... So maybe you push a little further in the first show.
If a poet is anybody, he is somebody to whom things made matter very little - somebody who is obsessed by Making.
I write in a slangy colloquial speech that has not been common in the Israeli tradition of writing, and that is one of the things that gets lost a little in translation.

People like 'Crank,' some people like 'Redemption.' I'm just happy to do things that satiate a different part of me, that test me a little bit.
I'm a pretty hands-off director. I let people try things, and if it gets over-jokey, then I'll try and rein it in a little bit.
The minute I start to talk about acting, I realize that I can't. You know, it's an abstract thing, a little bit mysterious even if you do it for a living.
When I get into collecting things, I get a little obsessive. Which is why when I start buying comics, I buy way too many, and I have to stop myself.
It's a very tempting thing to try and relive your glory days when you get a little older and you worry that people have forgotten all about you.
But the important thing is to lie down and fall asleep. That little nap means you wake up fresh again and can continue.
Auditioning is such an unnatural thing. You're in a tiny little room with, like, seven people cramped together, acting to a casting director; just, none of it makes any sense.
I'm not one of these people who likes to do as little as possible. I really do feel the hot breath of time on the back of my neck these days. And there are certain things I want to do before my time is up.
I don't do interviews at all when I'm on tour, so this time, on a day off, I'll do that kind of thing a little bit. I don't do big promotion schedules, not when I'm touring.
