I could have seen myself going into academia, but I don't love it; I just like it.

I have a hard time getting motivated to do something that seems like a career move. I've gotten into vague trouble with my agents for turning down work that I thought was exploitative.

I hope that doing truthful portrayals of people in a variety of circumstances gives people a kind of subterranean link to those characters.

You know how in high school you do these plays and people come up after the show and they're really excited for you? Well, that's what's happening to me right now.

I'm doing things that are more artistic again, more close to the material that I love. I don't disparage those things that I did. They're just not as much reflective of who I am.

Being is like pretending.

We all struggle with our failure to communicate and our failure to reach beyond fear to love people.
