I was kind of scared of failing at acting.

Adapting a book is essentially a collaboration, whether the author is alive or dead.

Dreams and expectations also have the very dark flipside of disappointment, broken dreams.

If you just read the book, you're taking in the narrative, you're taking in the characters, you're understanding it in a certain way. If you make a movie it's really an act of translation.

I love that the idea of examining memory, and the way memory is edited was made more interesting because it was being filtered through a writer.

I am very grateful for my life. I think one of the keys to not being depressed is to find gratitude and to be grateful for what you have. So I am grateful for what I have.

I don't consider weed to be any worse than having a beer.
