Involve yourself every day. Work hard and figure out how to love acting all day, every day. It's getting into a made-up situation and making it good and making it real and just playing, just practicing and playing. Like the musicians that I played piano with: they never expect to be rich or famous, but they, for the sheer joy of it, play every day, all day.

The universe is so big, there's so many worlds, there must be one of them or more, something that's alive.

How can you say when you're attracted to something? It's not easy to articulate my tastes.

It's mysterious what attracts you to a person.

People know that both my parents were shrinks so I was sort of raised in an atmosphere where there was that interest in the human mechanism and the human psyche and what makes people tick. And yes, I think I'm particularly creative and adventurous and improvisational and spontaneous in my inner impulses and patterns and deeply curious and appetized in the unfathomably mysterious and delicious phenomena that is the human being and who we really are.

I love both puppies and kitties. I could just scrunch up their little faces!

I'm always interested in craft and I was interested to see how people work. For me, it's a little like lessons at school.
