QUOTES:
It’s true: I married my college sweetheart. We were so lucky to find each other at such a young age.
I’m not so sure I ‘like’ to watch myself on film, but I do find it necessary in order to continually be a better artist.
I am beyond critical of my own work. I always tell actors they have to watch themselves 4-7 times in a given scene before they can be remotely objective.
There can be a lot of waiting around on any film set.

QUOTES:
Ed Koch once said that New York City is where immigrants come to audition for America. That’s what happened to my parents; that’s what happened to me.
[his favorite episode of The Twilight Zone (1959)] Pretty much anything William Shatner is in is great. He’s great at playing that “I’m the only one sane in the world” character. What “Twilight Zone” did was show we all have a great capacity for good and evil. In the best works of fiction, there’s no mustache-twirling villain. I try to write shows where even the bad guy’s got his reasons.
[Miranda’s June 15, 2008, acceptance speech (in the form of a freestyle rap) after winning a Best Score Tony Award for “In the Heights.” The speech contained a reference to an earlier piece of musical theater, Stephen Sondheim’s 1984 show Sunday in the Park with George–specifically, its song “Finishing the Hat,” in which an artist relates the difficulties of creating art and balancing his personal life to the act of painting a hat.]

QUOTES:
Things haven’t been going great lately. For a while now people haven’t really been getting my movies. Certainly the box office hasn’t been up to speed. Sure, some of my recent stuff hasn’t been perfect, but neither has it been the shit that many have said. Critically, it’s all become a bit of a crapshoot. The critics thought I was a bum when I started out and they think I’m a bum now.
[on why he passed on Fatal Attraction (1987)] There wasn’t a grain of originality in it – it was Play Misty for Me (1971) with Michael Douglas filling in for Clint Eastwood. Also, the original version, the script I read, had Glenn Close winning in the end by killing herself and thereby getting the moral upper hand. I knew the audience was never going to buy that. The audience was always gonna want to see the wife shoot the bitch. Sure enough, they shot the original script, previewed it, got booed off screen and went back and shot the ending you see today. That was a journey I couldn’t be bothered to go on.

QUOTES:
The thing to remember is that the work comes first, and not to get distracted by anything else. If you keep focused on the work, everything else will fall into place. That’s my mantra now.
I’ve heard some duff Irish accents. The worst must be Mickey Rourke.
I spend my money on holidays and eating out, and it allows me to be generous.
I never forget that I’m extremely fortunate.

A pioneer into illusion, an adventurer into the unknown. To give beyond reason, to care beyond hope, to love without limit; to reach, stretch and dream in spite of your fears. These are the hallmarks of divinity-traits of the immortal-your badges of honor. Your light has illuminated darkened paths, your gaze has lifted broken spirits, and already your life has changed the course of history.

QUOTES:
In Falling Skies (2011) I was playing a soldier and a fighter, and then, when I was taken captive, you’re still in this post-apocalyptic world.
“Terrible” is not a word I would use in shooting romantic scenes with Scott Speedman.
For the spouse of someone in the service, you are your own provider, your own lover, your own best friend while that person’s gone–the mother and father if you have kids.
At different times in your life, your body needs different things.
I loved The Chicago Code (2011); I watched that a lot. It was great because it really captured the city–I’m from Chicago, too.
