People in life, when they have a tendency to exaggerate or lie or whatever, you always sort of notice that their voice goes up quite high.

I was never disappointed by the people I've admired. And the choices I made when I was in a position where it was do-or-die were made with my heroes in mind.

If there is any message to my work, it is ultimately that it's ok to be different.

The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants.

Luckily I am very, very privileged and feel very lucky to be getting work and my kiddies are not feeling the brunt of any kind of horror that's going on today. So I'm super lucky.

With a character like a Captain Jack, who can essentially set up these verbal land mines around him, and just keep passing the "absurdity ball" around and the "irreverence ball" around, and keep people guessing and keep people confused, there's great safety in that.
