At times of the severest depression, humor is what binds people together.

Acting, the arts in general, is a magnet for the wounded of society.

Hunger's a great spur.

I like to be working and moving - the worst thing you can do to me is stick me in a room all day while you're lighting a shot. That just kills me.

I've never been good at accepting jobs six months down the line. I can't do it. If I'm thinking about this, I can't think about that. So I always seem to fly by the seat of my pants.

I love sci-fi because it leads in the imagination, and I always say it has the most intelligent fans in the world.

I was 16 when I was in a band, for about 10 minutes. I went off and did acting after that. So it was a wee moment for me when I sang.
