When I started writing after my career as an actor, I knew that that other life in the film industry would be pulled into my writing life and that people would see me not as an author but as an actor starting to write.

I got arrested for graffiti. I got arrested - a lot of, like, underage drinking, drunk in public, shoplifting, you know, your various, like, suburban arrests, I guess.

I still work really hard, but I like to think I'm a little smarter about at least the type of movie I'm getting into.

School allowed me to have outlets so that some of the pressure was taken off the acting. Every role in every movie, I used to live or die by. Once I had these new outlets, I relaxed a lot more.

I don't need a vacation in the traditional sense, like I would if I had a job I hated.

It feels really sad, to me, to go to a dark bedroom. It's like surrendering to the night or something.

Men in your position have women offering themselves in the hopes that they will get somewhere professionally, or socially.
