Ugliness is better than beauty. It lasts longer and in the end, gravity will get us all.

I've thought of doing many things in my life, under the influence of life, and I've never actually thought of straddling two carriages while they're moving.

I don't want to run around and look at a shot through a monitor. That doesn't improve what I'm trying to do. I figure, once I've done my job, it's none of my business.

It's important to keep challenging myself and try to come up with some new face every now and again.

I guess I'm attracted to these off beat roles because my life has been a bit abnormal. The only thing I have a problem with is being labeled.
