I always felt a bit alone and isolated from other people...I did a lot of pretending as a child. It was my way of coping with the fact that I didn't feel like I fit in.

I'm sorry my existence is not very noble or sublime.

I have definitely been curious and involved in the process; even as a young actor. I was always looking at where the camera was, what story it was telling. And as my experience grew, I wanted to know even more.

I had the classic 40 meltdown, I did. It's embarrassing. It was pretty funny. But then I recovered. To me, it was like a second adolescence. Hormonally, my body was changing, my mind was changing, and so my relationship to myself and the world around me came to this assault of finiteness.

I was hopeless at high school - I failed everything but Latin.

You have to change your life if you’re not happy, and wake up if things aren’t going the way you want.

The blues have always had some of the best times, best feelings I’ve ever had.
