If there's any message to my work, it is ultimately that it's OK to be different, that it's good to be different, that we should question ourselves before we pass judgment on someone who looks different, behaves different, talks different, is a different color.

What happens to me when I read a script, when something grabs hold of me, I start getting these flashes of people or places or things or images.

I just watched cartoons for three years, and that had a strong affect on me.

It's a great honor that something that you took part in creating becomes this forever object.

This is a rumour-filled society and if people want to sit around and talk about whom I've dated, then I'd say they have a lot of spare time and should consider other topics... or masturbation.

There's a drive in me that won't allow me to do certain things that are easy.

After having been confined to a television series - and it's a luxury job - where you can't play anything but one particular character for nine months out of the year, it will make you insane. It didn't affect me. I got out quick enough.
