My father has a general rule. He says if I haven't done it in real life I shouldn't do it on-screen.

I don't have a normal job, so I really appreciate having friends who are writers and artists. It's fun to have a group of people you can call in the middle of the day to go for a hike.

Why are they making rules that say my lover can stay in the United States if they're foreign or share my health care benefits because I'm straight - but if you're gay, you can't have that?

I was like a total cliched '80s child. I had Barbies, obviously, as well as My Little Ponies and Cabbage Patch Kids, but I used to destroy them. I used to draw all over their faces and cut off their hair.

It's so much unwanted interest in your privacy that you don't want to invite anymore.

I always ask myself, would I want someone to do something that wasn't comfortable for them just to please me? And the answer is no.

I don't love studying. I hate studying. I like learning. Learning is beautiful.
