I'm used to American actors who have a movie career thinking television acting is beneath them.

Most of us live in artificial environments and then we go to work in artificial environments and the world becomes something that you see through a window.

I'm a Buddhist, so one of my biggest beliefs is, 'Everything changes, don't take it personally.'

The fact that we die, that makes life important. It's hard to take, but it's the truth.

Racism is ridiculous no matter where it's coming from.

As a culture, we are not comfortable with mortality. We do not accept it the way other cultures do. We cling to youth, and we don't want to die. It's like, 'Well, too bad, we do.'

Never underestimate the power of denial.
