It's always fun to do something that you know ultimately is not about the money, and it's certainly not for the fame - because it's a pain in the ass. But it's really the person in the theater seat you think about when you sit in a room and write.

Either you're the one erasing or you're the one being erased.

If you give up on your dreams, what's left?

I refuse to feel guilty. I feel guilty about too much in my life but not about money. I went through periods when I had nothing, so somebody in my family has to get stinkin' wealthy.

I'd like to thank my mother, my father, the Academy. I'm sorry. I was thinking of something else.

The worst thing in the world when you feel broken is to have somebody coming at you with open-faced love.

I love playing ego and insecurity combined.
