When a guy tells me I'm cute, it's not something desirable. Cute is more like what you want your pet to be.

Well, right now, I'm very fascinated with 1920s Berlin. I mean, probably the more interesting thing would be to go to the beginning of civilization or precivilization - like polytheistic times. It would be interesting to see what came before modern religion and culture - what circumstances created the environment or the need for it.

You know, I get much more Jewish in Israel because I like the way that religion is done there.

Smart women love smart men more than smart men love smart women.

Going to a party, for me, is as much a learning experience as, you know, sitting in a lecture.
