I am so proud of Amelia Boynton. I can burst with pride.

When stepping into the mind of a psychopath, you realize that there is something missing in their brain that they do not understand the consequences of their actions- in a sense.

We all have a dark side. Most of us go through life avoiding direct confrontation with that aspect of ourselves, which I call the shadow self. Theres a reason why. It carries a great deal of energy.

The light and the dark are the same. They share. They really do rub up against each other, and they are extraordinarily familiar with each other. They are actually friends.

So many young people feel powerless. We live in a world where it feels like it's so big and yet so small, and that your contribution really doesn't matter.

As an actor, I usually have to find something to love about my character in order to play her.

Being a mom myself and it being a huge and important part of who I am, made it easier for me to play the role of a strong, fierce, giving mom...

It is the ordinariness of us that is the same in all of us.

The ordinary is ultimately what moves us most deeply. It's what touches us, and it's what we most recognize, in great moments of art.

Think about it, if you can pick up on the vibes and thoughts of others then surely you can send out your own vibes and thoughts to others with a little conscious effort!

What is it that you contain? The dead, time, light patterns of millenia opening in your gut. What is salted up in the memory of you? Memory past and memory future.

According to Aquinas, effort may not be the best measure of our virtue.

Expectations. Strong belief something will happen in the future.Pressure. A motivator. A positive. An indicator you are in the right place.

In terms of creative engagement, I just love being able to produce, produce, produce. You don't always get it perfect, but it has much more of an improvisational element, and you learn.

I think you would like Warren. He drinks Courvoisier in a Coke can, and has a laugh like you'd find in a cartoon bubble.

The best thing about wearing black is that you can hide pretty easily, unless you're in like Hawaii, then you can't hide.

I don't know how people live without coffee, I really don't.

The book is here to stay. What we're doing is symbolic of the peaceful coexistence of the book and the computer.
