Being nominated is the win. For me, being nominated is winning. It's just unbelievable.

It's important to me if I'm having a good time than I feel like the work is better. The quality of it is better and my level of interest is higher.

I prefer to think of the audience as a single living organism with which I am sharing a singular, never-to-be-repeated experience.

I just want to be clear, I am a very dark and bitter person, but I think on some level, everything really does come when it's meant to come.

My mom and I used to listen to records, read, and take train rides across the country in the summer. It was a very chill life. She didn't expose me to anything that was ahead of my development, but she expected me to adjust to her world - she did not expect to adjust to mine.

I've often said in the past that I thought MTV was sort of evil incarnate and signified the beginning of the end. And I don't know if I'm entirely wrong about that, but they did sign my paychecks a year ago, so I guess I'm part of the problem.

When you're working with good people it brings good things out in you.
