I didn't want to start relying on what someone else thought was right. It was easier to go away all together.

I don't think you want to give all the answers, but I think every answer you do give should bring up another question, and not all questions should be answered.

I always felt Jimmy was trapped in Hollywood. He felt it himself. He loved aviation so much and he wanted to be able to do more of that. He somehow just got stuck here.

I loved acting, which was never about money, the fame. It was about a search for meaning. It was painful.

I was always opinionated.

If you want to live on the edge of life, you need to be flexible.

So, Hitchcock wouldn't say anything about my work in the movie but, on the other hand, he wouldn't complain, either.

I want to be around when Newcastle win a trophy because I want to see this place lift off. It will be one hell of a party for a long time.

Being young and being first-round picks and everything, people look up to you and look for you to lead. It's something Brett and I are able to do, and we can use each other to help each other out.

I am persuaded that foolish writers and foolish readers are created for each other; and that fortune provides readers as she does mates for ugly women.

Evie didn’t mind yelling, but she hated feeling judged. It got under her skin and made her feel small and ugly and unfixable.

No part of your experience is wasted. Everything you've experienced so far is part of what you were meant to learn.
