I love working in New York theater.

Give me a window and I'll stare out it.

I have a love-hate relationship with white silk.

If you could build a house on a trampoline, that would suit me fine.

I get stage fright and gremlins in my head saying: 'You're going to forget your lines'.

I've never been able to plan my life. I just lurch from indecision to indecision.

We're dead as a species if we don't tell stories, because then we don't know who we are.

I suppose with any good writing and interesting characters, you can have that awfully overused word [...] - a jouuuuuurney.

It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising.

Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.

Any actor who judges his character is a fool - for every role you play you've got to absorb that character's motives and justifications.

But SACRIFICE does not mean 'death' at all. It means MAKING HOLY

The basis of all animal rights should be the Golden Rule: we should treat them as we would wish them to treat us, were any other species in our dominant position

Always focus on accomplishments rather than activities.

Often I'll find clues to where the story might go by figuring out where the characters would rather not go.

It feels like when I write, it's intuitive. This is true of Frances, and it's true of this [The Funniest Movie Of The Summer].

Even more amazing than the wonders of Nature are the powers of the spirit.

Love does not rule; but it trains, and that is more.

I feel like what I'm best at is being a musician and a performer. I want to use that to help people who are good at starting nonprofits.

I was captain and should have set the example. I would lift a minimum of weights. Mine was natural physical strength. I always thought quickness and agility were much more important.

You must have your heart on fire and your brain on ice.
