Every experience feeds an actor, and I've learned that depression is all around us.

I learned long ago to focus on things you can control and don't even pay attention to things you don't.

I have a lovely family who supports me and it's great.

With craziness, you can't predict it. There's very little defense you can have on craziness.

I think naturally, if you're an actor, there's a high level of assertiveness that you need to have to survive this business. There's boldness in being assertive, and there's strength and confidence.

You get addicted to emotions. Our endorphins kick in and it's like a high. On the low end you might love roller coasters. On the high end you might be a bank robber or something.

If you have a level of expectation in your life that you have to be a quote-unquote star, whatever that means, you might be setting yourself up for failure.

I think it's not a question of why, more a question of why not.

Take a chance. Take a risk. Find that passion and rekindle it. Fall in love all over again. It's really worth it.

If you work hard, you have a better chance of producing something that you're proud of. If you don't, you won't. It's really simple.

When everyone has high expectation for you, it can attack your insecurities.

Just like life, it was only the contrast with darkness that had made it seem brighter.

People who care about each other enjoy doing things for one another. They don't consider it servitude.

In comedy, falling means laughter. You can take something sacred and make it silly. The more sacred it is, the funnier it is. It has a bigger drop to fall.

You don't have to act as if you know what you're doing

People may or may not say what they mean... but they always say something designed to get what they want.

Taken over the centuries, scientific ideas have exerted a force on our civilization fully as great as the more tangible practical applications of scientific research.

Real misery cuts off all paths to itself.

I think the Democratic Party realizes, having lost two presidential elections, we need to do a better job of creating a farm team.

I love going on tour and playing music for people.

Know thy self, know thy enemy.
