I did not grow up watching much TV and film. I had a very, very, very, very, very, very church family, and a lot of, like, secular stuff was not around my house.

I've always hated criminals and crime. Life is hard enough without someone walking into your life on purpose and making it worse.

My whole goal was to be able to work in television and film and maintain a normal life, never be in a tabloid.

I love math. I have little secret number tattoos everywhere. I design them.

Personally, I am a church-going Christian. I love my church, my congregation; it's my favorite place to be.

Love is a big word. I believe in Love. I believe that God is Love.

I started out as a writer. Poetry and prose and also kind of satirical David Sedaris-esque stuff.

When I was little, I think that I wanted Superman to be my boyfriend.

I grew up in the Deep South, where sexism, racism, and homophobia were and still are alive and well. I have early, early memories of words and actions of this type being very painful.

When I was in N.Y. bartending, I was in a billion music videos. I was in Madonna, George Michael, Salt-n-Pepa - it goes on and on.

In many ways, acting is really like a science to me to figure out the human behavior of any character that I'm playing.

Save now, so you are not dependent on your children when you are old

The dignity of man was everywhere tissue-paper thin.

Dying is almost the least spiritual of our acts, more strictly carnal even than the act of love. There are Death Agonies that are like the strainings of the Costive at stool.

A man should practice what he preaches, but a man should also preach what he practices.

Yes, I found myself, by insensible degrees, sincerely fond of her; and the happiest hours of my life were what I spent with her.

In loss itself I find assuagement: having lost the treasure, I've nothing to fear.

I grew up camping with my family. We took so many trips. We had an RV, actually, when we were growing up. We did a ton of camping trips and went across the country.

Since we cannot promise our selves constant health, let us endeavour at such temper as may be our best support in the decay of it.

The important thing is to be relaxed in your work. Same in life. Don't make everything too intense. Then you can let everything go and not "act".

It is thanks to my evening reading alone that I am still more or less sane.
