I'm 53. I don't care about high school students. I find them irritating and uninformed.

I always choose to look, as much as one can, at the supernatural not being something that exists outside of nature, but a deeper, fundamental heart of nature that perhaps humans have lost touch with. It's a more primal thing than perhaps we are attuned to in our modern, self-aware way of life.

Life is suffering. We have desires and expectations and egos, and we compare the reality we have, which is miraculous and wondrous, with this reality we desire. That somehow distances us from actually taking part fully with the reality we do have, and that creates suffering. For me, the thing that I love is that it's all about the present moment.

Not everything is going to be successful. To strive for that is really naive. You just do the best you can do.

If a scene is longer than three pages, it better be for a good reason.

You know, I'm gay and I grew up being aware of that at a very early age, in a fairly repressed family.

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