I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago, back in the stone age.

I will always love psychology, and the basis of psychology is family.

Otherness is a big thing for me. I'm always drawn to characters that live lives that I couldn't lead.

When I go into the stores, I pet the saddles. Until security comes and takes me away.

I love the way L A. leaves you alone. I can go home, read all day, and nobody bugs me.

Actors become actors because they loved entertaining their family by putting on the lampshade and dancing around as a kid, ... That's not my personality. For me, the fun part of making movies is seeing it as a director sees it. I like the architecture of movies. I like knowing what's coming and working to set that up.

Every movie changes you. The process of making a film changes you. You have to be obsessed, you have to get up at 3 in the morning and go "Wait, I have an idea!" You have to continually be drawn over and over again to deepening inside that story, and ruminating over questions: "Why would he say this to her? Why if he was standing there, would she go?" Every one of those answers has to come from some personal place, and in order to do that, you can't sit on the surface. It's such a big change that you can't really explain it to anyone else.
