I don't get nervous when I'm directing a play. It's not like acting.

I know I wasn't as handsome as some other guys, but I was OK with that.

All over the world, young men and young women will always dream dreams.

The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool.

The ambition, the drive, the wanting to be the center of attention, the wanting to succeed... They're all inside me somewhere.

I didn't go out looking for negative characters; I went out looking for people who have a struggle and a fight to tackle. That's what interests me.

Don't let people treat you like a cigarette, they only use you when they're bored and step on you when they're done. Be like drugs, let them die for you.

I work constantly but I work at a lot of different things. You know, I run a theater company in New York, I direct plays, act in plays, in movies, so I try to keep it eclectic.

No one wants to be pretentious about what they do or take it seriously, because that is just weird.

I think you should be serious about what you do because this is it. This is the only life you've got.

To be loved, I think, is the thing that gets you up in the morning.

To some extent, it is almost blasphemous to think that insult, anger and irritation could be a positive force.

The Google self and the Facebook self, in other words, are pretty different people. There's a big difference between "you are what you click" and "you are what you share.

Love makes people do crazy things. And not feeling loved can bring people to the edge of madness.

Janetty tried to dive through the window to escape, what an act of cowardice.

How should I know anything about another world when I know so little of this?

Embracing our dark side gives us a new found freedom to be with the darkness in others. For when I can love all of me, I will love all of you.

But the you who you are tonight is the same you I was in love with yesterday, the same you I’ll be in love with tomorrow.

Love is sunshine, hate is shadow, Life is checkered shade and sunshine.

Servant of God, well done! well hast thou fought The better fight, who single hast maintain'd Against revolted multitudes the cause of truth.

...The important thing is: if you fail once, or if your luck is bad this time, the dream is still there. A dream is only over if you give it up-or if it comes true.
