Making checklists of things you're looking for in a person is the numero uno thing you can do to guarantee you'll be alone forever.

Storytelling in general is a communal act. Throughout human history, people would gather around, whether by the fire or at a tavern, and tell stories. One person would chime in, then another, maybe someone would repeat a story they heard already but with a different spin. It's a collective process.

I find the voice is what I look for first and foremost with just about every character I play.

I think there is something beautiful in reveling in sadness

I've always found it sort of hilarious, and occasionally horrifying, how these images [in mass media] impact us, and especially when it comes to love and sex and relationships, I think we sometimes develop unrealistic expectations.

Real life is not as simple as it is on a screen. I think real life is actually a lot more beautiful.

This is the saddest, most depressing music I've ever heard. It makes me so happy.
