If I had a child and she was a girl, I'd hope she'd do something different from me.

There's been no nepotism in my acting artistic life, but I think it's been pretty clear in my writing life. I knew what a pantoum was at age 11 - I knew form - therefore I would win the poetry contest. But I also realized that I would never be a great writer.

As you get older and you progress in your career, you start to want to have more control over things and you have ideas.

You know what, maybe I just want a different kind of life. Maybe I want to open an antique store and coffee shop, and have a different kind of life.

Both of my parents were incredibly supportive of me being in any arts, because they were both in the arts. They weren't the typical story of, "Oh, get a real job. You need to make money." They basically said, "Yup, be an artist. You'll be broke your whole life but you'll be happy."

The reason actors are assholes is because they don't eat.

I don't need to be crazy rich and crazy famous. I would just like to keep going.
