I don't know if it's harder but when you're playing a real person you want to honor their memory - even if they're a criminal or someone that the public loathed. That can be challenging.

It's always very strange to have your life dramatized because it never happens like that. Things will be different.

You can't deny reality just because you can't explain it.

They know you're not Alfred Hitchcock, but you need to be enough Alfred Hitchcock for them not to be bothered by it. That's a reassuring thing.

I often get sent scripts about little men in big situations. There's a comic element to it, which is forces stacked against this little guy, and how is he going to defeat them?

Close your eyes and click your heals three times...because there's no place like Dome.

When everyone covets something, they are easily annoyed by it.

The stage is near and dear to me.

You've been told that you're broken. That you're damaged goods ... there is also Post-Traumatic Growth. You come back from war stronger and more sure of who you are.

Alternative cartoonists have to rely on comic book stores to get their stuff in the hands of readers.

My father has taught me all the tricks of the boys at an early age, which has made me very careful.

However we are, however we think we ought to be in prayer, the fact is we just need to show up and do the best we can do. It’s like being in a family.

Procrastination has robbed us of too many opportunities.

The trouble about jumping was that if you didn't pick the right number of stories, you might still be alive when you hit bottom.
