Here on the East Coast, I think Shake Shack is awesome.
No, I don't think about the myth of the West. It's not the kind of thinking I do. That's more suited to people who live in big towns on the West Coast or East Coast, people who stay under a roof, in a room, all the time.
U.S. academics and Upper East Side New Yorkers like to think of the United Nations as a place where foreign ambassadors have intellectual discussions about power and world peace.
I don't see a lot of movies that portray the East Village as well as I think they can.
I think goals should never be easy, they should force you to work, even if they are uncomfortable at the time.
I do think that the desire to permanently alter your body is triggered by this easy access to Photoshop on your phone.
The particular way I'm going to die is not going to be particularly pleasant. It will probably be physically uncomfortable, and it won't be an easy thing for my wife and kids to watch. I think it will be a real challenge to see if I can squeeze the lemons hard enough to still get lemonade the last few weeks.
People who don't know me think I'm easy-going, but I'm a pessimist by nature and an old curmudgeon.
Sleep is so important. I think more important than we know. When I haven't slept, I'm not myself. I'm not as easy-going.
I do a lot of laughing at my own self in life, so I think I come at things with a pretty easygoing view.
I think I am really easygoing. Well... as I was about halfway through that sentence, I thought, 'No, actually you're really picky.' But the things I ask for are really simple to do.
We have food all around us all the time, and if we haven't eaten for three hours, we think we're starving. You're not starving - human beings can go for 30 days without food.
I think people really connect with the idea of someone who's gained and lost weight in this very public way, and also someone who's an emotional eater.
I think the man who eats the bread of idleness is under a certain obligation to speak well of labor.
I always have a notebook with me, I eavesdrop; I write down what people say. It's very rare that one of those things will provoke a story, but I think that that kind of paying attention all the time, and keeping everything open, lets the stories come in. But where they come from is still a mystery to me.
I think I'm very curious about other people. I like to sit and eavesdrop, you know.
I love good film, whether it's an independent or studio film. The independent films, I think the good ones aren't necessarily eccentric ones but they're the more specific ones.
Develop your eccentricities while you are young. That way, when you get old, people won't think you're going gaga.
I basically think that I'm a fairly nice, normal person with just a few eccentricities.
You might think that religion was the one area in which professional jealousy would take a back seat. But no: ecclesiastical memoirs are as viperish as any, though their envy tends to cloak itself in piety.
