“A sale is made on every call you make. Either you sell the client some stock or he sells you a reason he can’t. Either way a sale is made, the only question is: Who is gonna close?”

Such a senseless and tragic day. My family and I send our love to our beloved and resilient Boston.

I’m a writer. An amateur photographer. An actor.

I recognize that Hollywood is not about seniority. Often it’s not even a meritocracy. It’s about what you did yesterday. You have a couple of misses, and suddenly it’s impossible to find a hit. So the swings are gigantic. But I’ve always understood it as such, and navigated it as such.

If you think Hollywood is depressing and corrupt, politics is really depressing and corrupt — and fueled even more than Hollywood by money — if that’s possible.

Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms.

I just feel like sometimes I’m a force to be dealt with. My talents are sometimes overused and also sometimes underused. It’s not easy being me.

Online gambling is very seductive and very illusory. It can seem like a really good idea. It can seem like what people told you to work hard and get ahead, but when someone shows you something and it’s too good to be true, it probably is.

No matter how much you change, you still got to pay the price for the things you’ve done.

I dyed my hair for photo tests… I kept it because when am I ever going to be blond again?

I grew up in a home environment where I wasn’t getting esteem for anything I did.

No matter what you’re doing, if you’re trying to make a movie, you need to be working with people that are really good and who make you better.

I have a good instinct for what’s real and what’s not. I don’t have to second-guess myself.

The trap for an actor is that you become too successful at what you’re trying to do, and you can find yourself stuck there.

I hate the whole reluctant sex-symbol thing. It’s such bull. You see these dudes greased up, in their underwear, talking about how they don’t want to be a sex symbol.

I’m trying to make people feel welcome and feel valued.

I try new things and give myself permission to fail and experiment because only that way can you get really successful.

Let architects sing of aesthetics that bring Rich clients in hordes to their knees.

I think most defense attorneys know, to some extent, their clients are guilty.

Well, I guess most people would only know me from The O.C. I did a few episodes of Gilmore Girls before that. I was also a client on a lot of lawyer shows.

I worked with such concentration and focus and I had hundreds of obscure engineering or programming things in my head. I was just real exceptional in that way

I avoid clients for whom advertising is only a marginal factor in their marketing mix. They have an awkward tendency to raid their advertising appropriations whenever they need cash for other purposes.

Just that working with Clint again is like coming home.

Never diagnose a (client) until after their therapy is over.
