My ambition has always been to work with English and American actors and directors. Those were the movies that I was watching when I was growing up.

It's okay for a guy to be a baddie, but a woman? No, we can't deal with that.

Everyone's expectation of New York is so big, and then you go, 'Oh, it really is like no other place on Earth!'

There's a Danish architecture firm called BIG. I love architecture, and I always check out their work; they're very good at reimagining the way we live. They put the human experience as the focus, with access to air and outdoor space.

I'm not the fastest, the strongest, the most athletic, the tallest. But in order for me to be good at what I do, I have to focus on my craft so much that it alleviates those other things. I can't have personal relationships like other people do. I can't spend time on that.

The Strokes, you bond when you're 18, and you're friends. The feeling's different. When all of us get into a room, we feel like the same people from before. We weren't anybody; we were just hanging out. It's hard to understand if you're not in a band. You're one-fifth.

If we are to judge of love by its consequences, it more nearly resembles hatred than friendship.

I bow down in memory of the victims, and I come to tell my Armenian friends that we will never forget the tragedies that your people has endured.
