I felt like I did lots of crappy work in the past. I can't even tell.

You are absolutely free to describe me as a turtle or something.

I was the youngest child and got a lot more freedom than my brother and sister. I used to wander, doing my own thing under the radar, but I didn't get in bad, bad trouble.

Academia is a rarified culture, especially an Ivy League academic background.

I think that deep down all I have been looking for is to be accepted and liked by as many people as possible.

I like playing weird, kind of shady people.

I learned how to fire a sniper rifle, which I'm sure will be useful at some point.

I get tired of myself pretty fast. So I can't imagine other people don't get tired of me.

Well, you know, when people say stuff about you, it's always really flattering. But does it mean anything to me? It's not really real to me; there's no reality to it.

I get tired of myself pretty fast.

Holy Faith is fear for God.

I wasn't a kid who moved out from Iowa with aspirations of becoming a famous star - I was intrigued by the idea of filmmaking and by the idea of what it would be like to play a character in a movie.

Experience is valuable only when it has brought suffering and when the suffering has left its mark upon both body and mind.

Self-criticism, like self-administered brain surgery, is perhaps not a good idea. Can the 'self' see the 'self' with any objectivity?

You don’t think ahead in years or months: you think about this hour, and maybe the next. Anything else is speculation.

By taking a look at your anger it can be transformed into the kind of energy that you need - understanding and compassion.
