I wrote about wasting time, which I suppose is a part of the great human journey. We're supposed to wallow, to go through the desert without water for a long time so that when we finally drink it, we'll truly need it and we won't spill a drop. It's about being present.

The life of a character doesn't just exist between action and cut.

Whenever you show up on a set where you haven't been from the beginning - at least myself - I'm kind of quiet. I just watch the politics and how everything unfolds. It's kind of like going to a new high school. You want to see who everyone is before you introduce yourself, really, to kind of make friends. I think any smart person does that in social situations

'The Portrait of Dorian Grey' beautifully articulates how the altruistic part of ourselves clashes with our essentially narcissistic state.

The guy who kills 38 people is not the guy you'd want to have over at Thanksgiving.

There is something beautiful and permanent in the world, and that is the love that a person can have for another human being.

I've had a great career. I've had a great life. I am truly blessed by my working experiences.
