A DJ can't just play one song. It's about playing a set, or how you connect songs in those two hours, and where you place them.
I wasn't trained as a writer-director. And the projects I write are difficult to finish.
I wrote and finished the script for 'Man in the Middle' two weeks after the September 11 bombing. It's a very American film about an ex-diplomat based in the Middle East, a leader in the U.S. administration who now sells used cars in the Middle East.
I lived through many battles - the 1973, I was young; in 1982 with the Israeli invasions, and 2006 between Hezbollah and Israel. Before I emigrated to the States in '83, I had my own very black and white views of the Israelis and the Jews in general....
The mystified idea I had of Israel - the demonization of Israel - it just wasn't true.
I'm not a writer. I'm not smart. I couldn't possibly even write my own story.
My parents are supportive of anything I want to do, as long as it's not bad.
I'm pretty terrible at writing, so the way I kind of therapeutically get through things is by drawing.
I get really nervous when people are like, 'I saw you in a trailer! I saw you on TV!' Genuinely, my cheeks get red.
In high school, I tried very hard to make everybody like me, which resulted in me being extremely unhappy and in a lot of pain. Therefore, the lesson I got from that was that I can't make everybody happy.
You can't expect to make no effort. You still have to make the effort and be kind and understanding.
I'm a person who has a lot of energy. So, yes, I don't really stop to rest or de-stress. I just keep going. I figure that if you don't stop, then you'll never notice how tired you are.
Nothing could be as hard as middle school.
I put myself out there; it's part of my job, and I get it: people will attack me. At first I was thrown off, but now I have a pretty thick skin about it.
I always wanted to be normal. I tried really hard, but it's like I try so hard and then people still say I'm offbeat. I've learnt to accept that and take advantage of it as an actor.
I grew up believing my sister was from the planet Neptune and had been sent down to Earth to kill me.
I'm a person who gets better with practice. Getting older is awesome - because you get more practice.
Nothing's better than a picnic.
Do your eye shadow first, then your foundation. That way, you can clean up any mess without starting all over again.
I know a lot of people that have had fake Twitters... actors and musicians that I know. It's sort of a problem. There are all these people that sign up thinking that they're getting somebody's real thoughts when it's just some guy.
To be a gluten-free vegan is, like, the most difficult thing you can possibly be.
