If you don't give inspiration an opportunity, it will never arrive.

My relationship to reality has been so utterly skewed for so long that I don't even notice it any more. It's just my reality.

Right now, if you're interested in being a dramatic actor, they're not making that many just regular dramas. Movies have to have some other thing going on.

Success isn't measured by what you achieve, it's measured by the obstacles you overcome.

And the best films feel like a fist punching you in the solar plexus and all elements of the filmmaking process - the acting, the design, the cinematography, the music, is all working to one end.

I feel like everyone I meet is an imaginary friend. I don't know. The older I get the more I wonder what's real.

The most creative and most periods of my life that were, had the most growth, were the ones where I was perceived to be failing. Perceived success is a, is really hard 'cause it doesn't really, it's not asking you to grow, see failure is asking you to grow.
