I hate cars.

When I was a teenager I loved acting, but I really just loved it for myself. I didn't like the fact that anyone else saw the work I was doing. When I moved to New York, I started to realize that I wanted people to see the stuff that I was doing, and I wanted it to mean something to them.

The career stuff is for business people.

Okay, I’ll admit, I have a few skeletons in my closet; but they weren’t skeletons when I put them there.

While I’m not a celebrity, it’s such a weird concept that society has cooked up for us. Astronauts and teachers are much more amazing than actors.

I don’t think you necessarily have to be the most perfected performer, in order to express your feelings. It’s really those feelings that an audience connects with, I think, at least as much as perfected technical skill.

I think any time you set out to make something, anybody is going to be confronted by those voices in their head that say “You don’t need to do this. Someone else can do this better. You should probably just quit right now.”

Why am I doing the work I’m doing? Why am I friends with this person? Am I living the best life I possibly can? Questions are often looked upon as questions of doubt but I don’t see it that way at all. I question things to stay present, to make sure I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing.

I didn’t want to just work within Hollywood when I started a production company. I wanted to be able to collaborate with great artists from all over the world.

I just love to act. It’s my favorite thing to do in the world, and what keeps it interesting, to me, is the creative challenge. So, different kinds of characters, that’s what I just love to do.
