The important thing is not to be defined by what others think of you.

I've met people who've dismissed me, and then they find out that they like my work, and suddenly their attitude changes toward me. And I think that's very funny and very human. But it's also very unattractive.

I think it's always funny when you see kids do Shakespeare.

If you do something very successful, you will then be defined by it.

I'm not turned away from the church through anger, although I have criticisms of it. It's through finding affirmation of life and illumination of life through creativity and art.

I woke with a start. At first I assumed I'd trumped myself awake again.

I try to not make safe choices, but I also like to do stuff which is interesting and is sort of exciting in some way and accessible.
