“We need healthy forests if we want to protect our climate. As the climate changes, forests become more vulnerable to insect outbreaks, droughts and wildfires. Simultaneously, when our forests are destroyed, their carbon is released back into the atmosphere, further impacting climate change. It's a horrifying one-two punch.”

“New York used to be so much more than just a place to shop. It was life on the street for the eccentrics; it was an eccentric city. It had many different tastes. Now it's just one - a really rich one - with big tall glass buildings.”

“נשים נמשכות למיסטר ביג כי הוא פנטזיה מתעתעת ששמרה איכשהו על כנות. הוא מצחיק, אמיתי וכתוב מצוין כמו כל הסדרה שאפשרה לעצמה להיות לעתים מגוחכת כמו החיים ולעסוק בסקס באופן הכי פתוח וכן ולא להתחבא, ברור שהוא חלק ממני כמו כל הדמויות שגילמתי." ~ על דמותו בסדרה "סקס והעיר הגדולה”

“If you're an actor in your heart, no matter how much money they shove at you, it doesn't matter if the work doesn't provide that creative spark. You want out.”
