I was never nervous directing. Not once. I'm more nervous acting. I'm far more nervous on set, before I say my lines, than I ever have been, as a director.

Hollywood is all about making an entrance. I don't want to be a walking advertisement for anyone other than myself.

There are moments when you act that you actually disappear from your body, and that's amazing. That's better than any drug, I would imagine. People take drugs to disappear from themself, and that's what it feels like when you hit that moment.

I would like Obama to be tougher on going up against the Republicans, I don't think he should try to be so moderate.

I still say I can do whatever I want as long as I'm not hurting anybody else. I don't understand why more people aren't like that.

I'd never even seen orange cheese. I mean, who decided to make that orange? And so there was something different about me that they wanted to crush. I don't think it had anything to do with my physicality, but every single day in school it was, "You're the ugliest thing I've ever seen."
