You have to be kind to people. Treat them decently. There's no excuse for not.

Nobody goes to a movie and watches the script. There is a lot of other stuff going on.

There's a lot of romance to sort of living by your own rules and sort of not subscribing to what society tells you to do, but society pushes back pretty strongly, so there's a lot of compromise that goes with that.

I think I'd rather tell the truth and say what I believe in and make people unhappy than sort of pretend to think something else to accommodate them and try to be liked. That's just the way it goes and I don't think I'm any great champion of anything, but if they're going to put me on a show, I'm going to say what I think.

They say money can't buy happiness? Look at the smile on my face. Ear to ear, baby!

I try to cast really good actors and give them a chance to do their very best work, give them as much time and space as they need.

I don't go back and look at the monitor between every take; I wait until I feel like we finally got it right: "Let me stop and look at that last one on the monitor."
