Anyone who lives like a modern aristocracy, the last thing they exhibit is a sense of gratitude. Me, Im very fortunate.

In my twenties, I was a huge, insane risk-taker.

A lot of my world-view is formed by the places Ive been.

I think all art - if it's good - is a result of really trying to create something that you can't put into words. Where language ends is where good art begins.

I still wrestle with the catharsis of acting. I don't end up playing a lot of likable characters, so I find myself living in a lot of unlikable skin. As a result of that I don't always feel good.

Only you know what you're trying to accomplish. Any time you're thinking about whether someone's going to like this or not like this, you're f**ked. You've made the decision based in fear. Fear is the cancer to creativity.

Animals are a continuous source of inspiration and wonder to me. I would love to play a dog.
