We ultimately have to find truth in the material, and I think that transfers onto the screen. Obviously there's varying degrees of it, and we don't get it right all the time [laughs], but I think when it feels grounded, it's because we recognize the truth in the material.

A thought for today: 'People change and forget to tell each other.'

The bureaucracies that are in place now, they're not going to change, they're not going to stop.

I don't ever want anything to come in the way of me truthfully telling a story.

I've got a lot of letters from prison. Lost was a big prison show. But it's really crazy when you get the letter that says, 'So, I'm getting out in three months, I've only been in for 17 years and I'd really like to meet you.'

What we're doing to the planet is inexcusable.

Love has so many unique yet consistent forms.
