No matter how bad the individual, everybody has reasons for why they do what they do.

Anybody who's gone through puberty has understood what it feels like to be an outcast and alone.

I think it's a very healthy thing to learn from what's happened in the past. But only if you look at what happened and think, 'How could I have dealt with that differently?' Then let it go.

We come from fallible parents who were kids once, who decided to have kids and who had to learn how to be parents. Faults are made and damage is done, whether it's conscious or not. Everyone's got their own 'stuff,' their own issues, and their own anger at Mom and Dad. That is what family is. Family is almost naturally dysfunctional.

Working together always works together better... it also appeals to a primal, animal thing, which is that humans are social creatures.

I find it really hard to even read another script while shooting.

It feels great to not be the acne-ridden outsider that I felt like when I was in high school. It's a lot more fun being alive now than it was then, I'll say that much.
