I think that artists don't make art - the art makes itself through us. I'm not the doer. I'm just along for the ride. Acting really reminds me of that because I don't write the words; I don't make the decisions. That's the director. Narcissism is a tragic condition. It must be so miserable to live trapped in a reflection that only includes the smallest version of our identities. Our true identities should have no bounds and no limits.

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

My personal opinion is that truth, like honesty and non-harmfulness, often are at odds with one another.

I always thought it would be really, really cool to play Edgar Allan Poe, because when I was a kid, he was one of the authors who really blew my mind open to all sorts of weird dark and twisted places.

I went to a school that was founded on a lot of very radical ideals of how education should be changed. But what's happening to schools like that sort of all over the country is in economic pressure they're becoming more and more preparatory because that's what people will really pay the money for private schooling for now.

I've fallen prey to my fair share of moments of the phobias of others and the way that that can become an attack.

My goal beyond being an actor, is just being an open channel.
