My fans have designated themselves the, uh, 'Pine Nuts.' They're a nutty bunch.

I still have anonymity, which is great. I can go out anywhere I want and no one ever recognizes me.

I'm more cerebral than I want to be.

The only thing you sometimes have control over is perspective. You don't have control over your situation. But you have a choice about how you view it.

Maybe the realisation of the full human potential is the utopian thing. Maybe that is our collective struggle, is to find a way to get there. But right now it seems like we're duplicating what was written in the Bible, a millennium ago, which is "An eye for an eye." Revenge policy; "If you hit me, we'll hit you back worse"; ad infinitum.

I don't need to worry about that, that's always there on a slow simmer. The muscle I have to work on is being more present.

The great thing about theater is that you have so much time to prepare, and to fail, before presenting it to the public. In film, the high-wire act seems to be that much farther up, and the net seems to be less there.
