If you fall in love with someone gay and you're the opposite gender, it's not going to work.

I'd love to be a dead body in the emergency room and have George Clooney go, 'This one's gone!' while he puts a sheet on me.

I'd rather sink with my own vision than float with somebody else's.

I'd always admired writers. I'd always loved words on a page. Somehow, words seemed to bypass image and get straight to the heart of things. Somehow, words seemed big enough to contain pain, and sentences could pull broken bits together.

I couldn't imagine doing a show where I'd once again have to answer to corporate interests.
