If I die before my cat, I want a little of my ashes put in his food so I can live inside him.

Everything I touched in the kitchen turned out crappy, no matter how closely I followed the recipe or copied the cooking show.

I think happiness is a choice. If you feel yourself being happy and can settle in to the life choices you make, then it's great. It's really, really great. I swear to God, happiness is the best makeup.

Trust that things will be okay - especially if you put in the time and effort to make them be okay.

Some of the mini-worlds that filmmakers have created are so ingrained in my love of culture.

I mean, I come from a hippie mentality where I just think to know someone, you need to look into their eyes. Eyes are so important. Until they start melon-balling eyes out, I won't be able to get to know someone another way.

I always like worlds where you could be in several different time periods.
