Puerto Rico is beautiful. I mean, I love it. But it's hard to film here. It's hard to film an action movie here where you're outside, and you're running around all day.
When you're trying to expand your business, it's about real estate in the stores.
Focusing on the right priorities can help you do more faster.
Being typecast is the enemy of any actor, so if you can try to do something that flips on the head peoples' ideas of who you are or what you can do, that's my biggest aim.
Pilot season tends to be grueling, because you can be thrown all of these auditions at once - last-minute, always - and you're going on three a day, especially back in the day.
It is not possible to make great buildings, or great towns, beautiful places, places where you feel yourself, places where you feel alive, except by following this way. And, as you will see, this way will lead anyone who looks for it to buildings which are themselves as ancient in their form, as the trees and hills, and as our faces are.
You don't get money unless you have a lot of talent, which I don't have, or you work hard, which is what I do. We don't have any golden touch here.
I think you can feel good about yourself at any size and any shape. Nobody should be made to feel inferior because they have a certain body type.
You have to treat everybody the right way. Otherwise, you'll have a short life. God bless.
A helpful thing for me has always been - this is from a great acting teacher Declan Donnellan - is this beautiful way of expressing how and why people do things that other people may not do. It's a simple sentence that says, 'I understand you; you don't understand me.'
Never love something so much that you can't let go of it.
I believe, in general, that even people that are self-pitying, you can feel for them.
Parkour is not just linear. There are moments that are intense and some that are lesser, so you have to move from one to another, and that becomes the musicality of Parkour.
'The Sun Also Rises' by Ernest Hemingway is my favorite book. You feel manly reading it.
You can't say I look like this person or sound like this person exactly because I made it my own. I'm pretty, pretty influenced by myself right now.
Life isn't something you possess. It's something you take part in, and you witness.
Yes, I'm reckless and sometime express no concern for my own well being, and I express a misanthropic view of the world, but to have an opinion, you can't be a nihilist.
The thing that always attracted me to New York was the sense of being in a place where a lot of people had a lot of stories not unlike mine. Everybody comes from somewhere else. Everyone's got a Polish grandmother, some kind of metamorphosis in their family circumstances. That's a very big thing - the experience of not living where you started.
I just think that giving a child a chance and sharing what you have with a child is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, as well as a child.
You always need to be on the lookout for the next kind of great technology.
One of the biggest challenges of writing for middle-grade or even young-adult readers is that I don't want to have too much violence in it - which really limits what you can do. It's important that they're not just bloodbaths or glorifying violence. I always try to show that a person who dies leaves a hole. There's grief in my books.
Being an actor is really, really hard, no matter how you slice it.
It's all about being professional. You can't be dwelling on mistakes.
I always think about making a CD you can hear in your car, your house party, with wonderful energy for all.
Fashion has always been a repetition of ideas, but what makes it new is the way you put it together.
Undercook swordfish, and you get rubber. Overcook it, and you lose the fat and succulence.
There is a great deal of busywork to a writer's life, as to a professor's life, a great deal of work that matters only in that, if you don't do it, your desk becomes very full of papers. So, there is a lot of letter answering and a certain amount of speaking, though I try to keep that at a minimum.
It's a difficult journey when you're going through a divorce, is it not, for anyone?
The internet was supposed to make this whole business of job searching rational and simple. You could post your resume and companies would search them and they'd find you. It doesn't seem to work that way. There aren't enough jobs for experienced, college educated managers and professionals.
Anybody can call me Jamie, and you have to watch it when you call me James. Then there's going to be a problem.
If you want to play the good roles, spend more time in in college and in acting class than you do in the gym, and you'll have the career you want.
People think, 'Jack, you do too much.'
You can't tell what's going to fulfill you in different stages in your life.
You find with the really great actors, the ones you really admire and look up to, very often they're very giving, generous, warm people.
My dad's so likeable, you wouldn't feel in competition with him. If any boyfriends have ever felt that, they're long gone.
To be an actress and act crazy is really fun for me, to be able to be acting like you'd never be able to act in your real life and scream and freak out. It's an interesting test for an actor.
