Everyone's different. I mean, some people write journals for their characters and stuff, but that was never really my area.

It's so enjoyable to play a bad guy, you know.

I was often getting hired to play sociopaths and psychopaths and stuff, which is really funny.

I was watching Orson Welles and Jean Vigo films at a ridiculously young age.

I realized that work doesnt beget work. Good work begets work. So I got a lot more patient and stopped worrying about working all the time.

I guess I just would never be so arrogant as to think that anybody would even recognize me. I didn't even think about it.

Im really bad at tests of any kind, so Im bad at auditions. I consider myself educated most of the time, but when Im under the gun, I just fail.

To spend 36 hours or 48 hours of my life binge-watching something seems insane to me.

Characters for me are born on page one and they die on page 100.

Now I write often. I decided that I need to write for myself - I can't really direct other people's material.

I am selfish. I am brave.

We don’t drift in good directions. We discipline and prioritize ourselves there.

I was about to meet Beyonce, and I had a full-blown anxiety attack. Then she popped in looking gorgeous, and said, "You're amazing! When I listen to you I feel like I'm listening to God."

My verses stand gawping a bit. I never get used to this. They've lived here long enough.

Psychotherapy theory turns it all on you: you are the one who is wrong. If a kid is having trouble or is discouraged, the problem is not just inside the kid; it's also in the system, the society.

…I noticed a woman whose face was a sea voyage I had not the courage to attempt.

I feel vulnerable on mountains. It's an uncontrolled, raw environment. It's very - it's truly humbling.

Postpartum depression is very, very common but a lot of people just don't recognize that they have it. A lot of physicians also don't ask (patients) about it, so it's a problem from both sides.

The only road to doing good shows, is doing bad shows.

Planning a dinner party in a way that you're actually capable of getting it done without panicking is important. It's bad hospitality for the host to be freaked out.
