I don't ever want an acting to be a job. I want this to be an outlet for my creativity, and something I just simply enjoy doing. I don't ever want it to become something too serious.

I love writing. I love to write, and I would eventually love to have some of my work produced.

I hate taking myself seriously. It drives me crazy!

I don't ever want to be bored, doing the same thing from 9 to 5. I've always loved pretending and being someone different.

There are always ups and downs, no matter how successful you are.

I tried softball and soccer. I just didn't take as much of a liking to it as I did sitting in a movie theater and watching people recreate a story, and doing it myself, as well.

I like the idea of having a little bit of a mystery about me.

Theater is the only thing I always came back to. When I was 9, I asked my mom if I could be on TV. She was like, "Well, okay. You can try."

I always want the audience to identify with my character in some way. I mean, sometimes you'll get characters that aren't very identifiable. Sometimes you can't relate to your character at all.

I think it's important to keep the audience interested. But the best advice that I've gotten is to live in the moment. Sometimes you can get too into your head when you're in a scene.

I don't think I'd ever want to direct. I don't think I have as much discipline to direct as I would like to have, and I don't want my hair color to not go grey during that process.

You have to throw yourself away when you write.

If we're an arrogant nation, they'll resent us.

I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm damn well gonna do it!

I'm sixty-two, and it's ecological sense to die while you're still productive, die and clear a space for others, old and young.

Voldemort’s fury at the fall of his last, best lieutenant exploded with the force of a bomb.

I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy.

A video taped stage performance is just - you know, it's never gonna be the same as it is if you're sitting there live in the theatre.

You try to do your best at what you're getting paid for.

The life in Italy is the life of a wealthy country: consumptions haven't diminished, it's hard to find seats on planes, our restaurants are full of people.

You can’t embrace your whole life if you’re shut down.
