I had great difficulty in school interacting with others, and I took refuge in the contrived setting of play acting, which is what I still do.

The only way to be turned off to being famous is to be famous.

I don't go to movies, I don't own a television, I don't buy magazines and I try not to receive mail, so I'm not really aware of popular culture.

The more people say nice things about me, the more I feel it's false.

A lot of times the character's experience is not in accordance with the tone of the movie and it's not really my job to account for the tone of the movie. That's the director's job.

I cried every day of first grade. In class. Which meant I ended up getting comfortable emoting in a place where it wasn't the norm.

Everyone's a geek in some way or other. Everyone's an outsider.
