Children accept their world as the world. I grew up like kids that I went to school with. Their parents were either shrinks or actors.

I like a movie that the audience actively has to participate in, and not just casually observe. Whatever my part in it, just as an audience member, I find that exciting.

I don't want to play the same person twice, that's not why I wanted to act.

When I find a role I want to play, I just go after it.

Writing, producing and directing, I must say, is incredibly satisfying and gratifying.

People equate success with youth. And if you haven't had a certain amount of success by a certain time in your life, it's never going to happen. There's a fear about that. So people start lying about their age really young. I've never done that because I think it's so insignificant.

I used to hang out by the food table at parties because you don't have to talk to anybody. If you do then you can talk about the food.
