I have rock climbed but not in awhile. Love all sports, reading, cooking, some carpentry, gardening.

I believe in struggle. And I believe that the struggle is beautiful. You have to try it or you will never know what's beyond it.

Once you become a producer, you're really selling something. It is a control issue, because you don't really know how it's going to pan out, but the creative control makes it work it.

If I really knew how to do good storytelling, I would be a writer. Mystery is not a huge part of it. ... It's tension, it's relationships. I think it's a struggle.

The most magical moments for me come from the little ones in elementary school. They ask adorable and meaningful questions.

To me good storytelling is about journeys. It's about people's journeys, people's discoveries and how they deal with those discoveries; circumstances that put people in different situations.

When I take a role I wonder how I can use it to find out who I really am. I don't think I'm so rare a person.

There are just times when your body and your soul feed into a character and you somehow meet at the point where that character truly lives in you. It happens in plays, in TV, in films.

I have always wanted to do a book about actors because I think that the death of a character is a tremendously emotional experience.

I've always been creative, with a huge amount of energy.

I want to be in a position where I feel comfortable selling an idea.

May we all listen to what's really going on with our friends and loved ones. Listen and stand with them in their pain and their joy.

A sense of humor... is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.

You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.

I love illustrating for other writers because I am given stories I never would have thought of, and my work as an illustrator is always in support of the story.

School was a strange place where they tried to make you into something.

My dad always said he couldn't remember a time when I did not want to act.

For all of my fortune, there are many with misfortune that need a hand.

Success can't be forced.

The result justifies the deed.

An ocean refuses no river.
