I think the story of 'Alice in Wonderland' in a way is a reminder that life is frightening, it can shift on you at any moment.

No matter how difficult things are, and no matter how much grief and loss there is, you can turn it into something positive.

For me, what makes life enjoyable is having a shared culture and shared references.

I remember someone said to me, "Never stand up when you can sit down, never sit down when you can lie down, never lie down when you can be asleep." Those are bits of advice that I haven't taken, really. I've done the opposite of them, but they have stayed with me.

I love watching Jeff Bridges act. He's brilliant.

I am prone to get carried away thinking about creative projects.

But obviously, things have changed in many ways since the '50s, when the show is started, in terms of sexuality, and how much access we have to images of it and information about it. But, the same problems always apply. It doesn't matter whether we know a lot more about sex now or if there's a lot more access to it. The same problems of intimacy, of dealing with other people, of connecting and being vulnerable with other people, which is what the show is ultimately about, still applies now, I think.
