“I'm continually trying to make choices that put me against my own comfort zone. As long as you're uncomfortable, it means you're growing.”
“Your best T-shirt should be like your bed; it just feels like you are home when you are in it.”
“I didn't really go the starving-artist route. I kind of went and did massive, commercial things.”
“I wouldn't say I'm personally trying to transition from comedy into drama. I don't look at things like, 'Oh, I need to do a drama now.' I get a lot of material sent to me, and if I feel like something has the creative integrity and the right director and the right whoever involved, the right actors and is a great story, then I do it.”
“I would say I'm 90 percent collaborative in everything I do, and 10 percent of the time I just make the call.”
“Steve Jobs had something like a 90% approval rating from his employees. You hear stories about him being this short-tempered, aggressive person, which he was. But he was in the pursuit of making people around him better, so the product they created would be better.”
“One of the things about being on Twitter, for me, is mostly about just being on the pulse of what people are interested in, what people are doing and what people are looking for. I look at entertainment projects and storytelling, and I really try to think about what people want.”
“The truth is that I'm an idiot. I am. I don't do things by the rules sometimes. I say things that I probably shouldn't say. I push buttons. I deserve to be made fun of. And I feel like, as soon as you can make fun of something, it instantly removes the fear.”
“I say whatever I think and whatever is on my mind, and I just hope that it comes out good. I just try to have a lot of fun.”
“I think that romance sort of coincides with effort, so you can fall flat on your face, but as long as you're making a great effort, I think it comes off as romantic. So it can be something as simple as, like, if you're someone who doesn't cook, you can make a meal.”
“Leapfrog innovation - consistent, constant, ridiculous leapfrog innovation - only happens within a dictatorship. Any time you try to do something really innovative, most people aren't going to understand it until after they experience it. So when you're developing in innovation, you have to be a dictator.”
“I think Ryan Gosling is a really great actor who's meticulous about his work. And I'd love to have the guts that Johnny Depp has to actually go outside the box on a character. When he plays a character, he plays it in a way that nobody else would.”
“It's hard to appreciate success in modeling, because it's not something you feel like you've earned, so there is a little bit of bread of shame that comes with that. It's like somebody giving you a puzzle that's already put together.”
“I never thought in my life, I never really thought I would get married. I watched my parents go through a divorce, and I thought, like, this is just not something people are supposed to do.”
“My goal is to embrace the people, the 'natural resources' of Israel, and to build businesses with the creative Israelis.”
“Everyone loved Steve Jobs and the idea of Steve Jobs. Like a lot of people, I loved a man I never knew.”
“I could never be with a woman who felt like she needs to change me.”
“The failures that we have are sometimes expensive educations.”
“I want to be like Tom Cruise from 'The Outsiders' and go on and do amazing movies for a long time.”
“I've constantly done my best to get the best material I can get with the best directors I can get to direct me.”
