There's been a boiling down of real emotion into a set pattern instead of individualism.

My mom's been married three times; my dad has been married a lot. I didn't really see my dad that much.

I think Im extremely vulnerable and that in some ways I seek out rejection. Never feeling like youre getting that pat on the back from dad is probably at the heart of that. Im working through it, which is good. As an actor, I think that you want to keep your demons to some extent, but you also have to exorcise them so you can use them instead of them using you.

Ambiguity in directors is a hard thing to deal with.

The whole Indian thing, I always say it's really the American holocaust. It's something we need to look at.

Any time I got in emotional turmoil, I felt sick all the time, like at any minute I would die.

I would take William H. Macy as a teacher any day of the week. He's incredible. He's got a lot of hard-earned experience.
