What I've learned from myself is that I don't have to be anybody else. Myself is good enough.

It's in understanding yourself deeply that you can lend yourself to another person's circumstances and another person's experience.

To be human is to seek perfection, and find joy in never attaining it.

I used to enjoy doing silly walks on the street with my friends. Like, you know, you're walking, and then you break out in something completely ridiculous, to kind of spook out the person walking by you. I can't really do that anymore.

I was bullied by my siblings and cousins, so make-believe was a way in which I could be in charge. When I was like 10 and my sister was about five, I convinced her that she was going to jail because she used a bad word. The doorbell happened to ring, and I told her it was the police. I made her pack her bags. She was crying, and then I said to her, "I forgive you, and I'm gonna tell the cop to go away." Then, of course, she loved me. It was terrible - she still remembers it. I had a sordid sense of humor.

I always love to learn new things. That's the reason I like being an actor.

Steve McQueen is a genius. And I think that word is overused, but I think with Steve it's rightly used. He's a genius.
