I'm profoundly changed. There's a bittersweet emotion that I feel from playing this role. . . . I want the world to be different because I was here. However lofty or crazy or delusional that may sound, I want people's lives to be better because I was here.

There is no pain worse than not achieving a dream when it is your fault. If God did not want you to have it, that is one thing. But if you do not get what you desire because you are lazy, there is no pain worse than that.

I know who I am, I know what I believe, that's all I need to know. From there, you do what you need to do.

I think it would be arrogant and borderline foolish to believe there's no other life forms that exist out there.

I want to represent possibilities. I want to represent magic, right, that you're in a universe, and two plus two equals four.

I try to connect to human emotion. I'm always looking for something primal, something really base that is beyond language, that people understand beyond language.

Life is lived on the edge.
