I can't run away when I'm scared. I always have to attack. That's how I deal with seemingly difficult things.

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.

If it was something that I really committed myself to, I don't think there's anything that could stop me becoming President of the United States.

The keys to life are running and reading.

There's a certain delusional quality that all successful people have to have.

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

There's a forgiveness that literary audiences will give you that film audiences don't give you. It's the two hour construct. You're in there and it needs to climax and finish.
