You have to understand that crew members make movies so they're seeing a lot of actors all the time in their career acting.

I would never not work on the part without it playing. That's what being an actor is. You use everything that's influenced you to help you get out of yourself or be more creative.

Something that could bring you wealth and fame could also be your end, your undoing.

Life's pretty funny when you're objectively on the outside looking at it.

Ultimately, I think writing is a mixture of craft, inspiration, and being incredibly, courageously explorative with yourself - and being brutally honest, too.

All over the world, young men and young women will always dream dreams.

There's something in the very small minutia of life that tells us something about the big, big picture that we see every day all over the place, and so I think the more specific and creative and revelatory you are in the micro, the more powerful the macro will be.
