I always was very interested in intellect and the massive world of knowledge out there, but in terms of being a kid who wanted to be treated as an equal, school is not the place.

I'm from the dirty depths of New Jersey.

I guess the big thing is that I don't buy anything first-hand. It's a personal policy I have for all sorts of reasons. If you research to the textile industry yourself, you'll know why. I came to it personally.

If one took a role with the intention of, "I'll show them what I can do!," then it's not going to be good because the ego is going to just block everything.

Sometimes it'll happen to people, that their self will stop coming through. And people will just cease to understand them.

I have a lot of really wonderful friends who are of very different sexes and genders.

I think I enjoy playing human beings no matter the substance of their character.
