I am in the continual process of transcending fear-based rituals

Acting is always a challenge.

I know if you talk faster and use more ten-dollar words than everyone around you, you convince half of them that they should shut up because you know what you're talking about.

I'm coming from a place of total strength and humility now.

Look, even bad years are pretty good years I think.

I saw School of Rock, and I was like, why haven't I worked with Richard Linklater already? Then by the time I got him I was like, I'm really pissed off I feel like you owe me some retroactive swag. He gave me the 10-year anniversary "Dazed and Confused" T-shirt, which I still wear with relish.

It's weird when one movie that's connected to another doesn't reference that movie at all.
