I always get involved with the environment because once you go past the tipping point with the environment, you don't get it back.

I don't mind demanding women.

As an actor you appreciate the security of a job. But I don't ever want to get too comfortable.

Why don't we save time and you just tell me what I want?

Sex and the City changed New York-New York's become a big shoe store now, unfortunately.

It is a fearful environment where no one can trust to pick up a stranger, or a stranger cannot trust to get in a car. That search I find lacking. That openness. Right now, we have got ourselves stuck in one thing, which is make money as fast as we can, because it is hard to live in this world without it. Let us face it.

I don't want to be identified by any one role I do.

I cannot explain something that no one has ever figured out.

No one ever takes my side.

Law and Order' is completely story-driven and completely characterless, really. If you do that format for five years and you're an actor, you're bound to get bored. It wears on you. And it was really wearing on me.

I never wanted to be the lead on a TV drama. It just robs you of your life, really.

I like big casts. The experience of working together, that human contact - those are my roots, professionally.

You look around New York, and we are surrounded by restaurants and food trucks, and we celebrate food in this city like no tomorrow.

I don't know the politics of Hollywood. Am I hungry for great material? Every actor is. How I can get to it, that's another story.

At least Manhattan, in terms of danger and eccentricity, is much more of a theme park now. You couldn't really shoot the old Law & Order in New York today. It's a different city.

People are so phobic and crazed about this word 'commitment.' It's weird. Everyone has taken this word to a new height of morality.

Most people know that forests are the lungs of our planet, literally playing a critical role in every breath we take. And that they're also home to incredible animals like the orangutan and elephant, which will go extinct if we keep cutting down their forests.
