When I found myself in that situation - that actors are like children, I tried to be successful. And when it worked and I figured out how to communicate that things were good - or at least okay - then I felt pleased.

I'm trying to tell a story and do it truthfully.

I do have, at different times, a certain kind of self-consciousness in the world, an insecurity.

We're all subjective beings and trapped in our own realities and our own biographical stories and physical bodies and our histories - and that's the only way we can experience the world.

If you ever got me, you wouldn't have a clue what to do with me.

So when I write characters and situations and relationships, I try to sort of utilize what I know about the world, limited as it is, and what I hear from my friends and see with my relatives.

I've had to deal, a lot, with my own sense of intimidation at meeting famous people - especially actors, but really any famous people.
