There are a whole bunch of roles where people say, 'Oh, you're playing yourself.' I guess it's kind of a compliment. Or people say, 'Oh, man, you just roll out of bed and do that.' The work is to make it look effortless. That's the hard part.

My experience in work, even going to work with Scorsese, is that people always think there's some magic trick. There's no magic trick. The people who are really good at what they do do simple things really, really well.

There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

I've been in a couple of weddings where the coolest people that were the most day before so mellow and then the day of the wedding freaking out.

The best advice comes from people who don't give advice.
