For me, writing is a solitary thing and a personal thing. And it's weird, because when you make something that requires money and collaborators, you have to talk about them. I don't enjoy that part of it. I still want to keep it to myself.

I have had moments where I've had mental-health issues and I've felt like yoga and meditating and reading these Buddhist self-help books actually really help.

I don't feel the breath of a thousand people over my shoulder.

I used to go online all the time, and then I had to stop myself... because I'm a writer, and it's like: to have a procrastination tool, like, within my computer... it was just getting too hairy.

As an actor, it's better to just be more loose and give yourself over. That's always fun. It's fun to just let go and be somebody else.

As a director or writer, you have to be so controlling.

From my experience, meditating can bring up the most stressful thoughts.
