I'm from the dirty depths of New Jersey.

I am very much in love with no one in particular.

I'd like to make as much art as I possibly can before I die, so I'm working on a few things.

There's no true value placed in learning, if the point of you learning something is to simply know it for a test, to get a grade, to go to the good school.

Acting and making art is just something I love to do, and I love to tell stories that feel important, honest and necessary. It's not about me. It's about being part of something.

Getting socially outcast can be the best and most informative thing that can ever happen to you because you have to learn who you are separate from the pack.

It's an amazing thing to be able to fall into the world of your childhood fantasy.

I feel like a sickness and dystrophy is growing in people, like people are getting sicker, something about our society, something about our psychological structures. We’re not whole.

If one took a role with the intention of, "I'll show them what I can do!," then it's not going to be good because the ego is going to just block everything.

My goal beyond being an actor, is just being an open channel.

I shop only at thrift stores and vintage stores. In New York, I like a place called Star Struck, and a place called The Family Jewels.

No sensible man ever engages, unprepared, in a fencing match of words with a woman.

Great mysteries inhabit the threshold of my being.

One hour of right-down love is worth an age of dully living on.

I'm an adequatist! I would be happy with something adequate. Perfection's out of the question.

I had a million questions to ask God: but when I met Him, they all fled my mind; and it didn't seem to matter.

The press follow me. I sue them. That's the deal.

There's no one way of telling a story or looking at reality, so I think any device is up for grabs as long as it fits in with the tone.

Neurotic means he is not as sensible as I am, and psychotic means he's even worse than my brother-in-law.

Jesus didn't die to make us safe. He died to make us dangerous.

. . . we will never be prompted by the Holy Ghost to do something we cannot do. It may require extraordinary effort and much time, patience, prayer, and obedience, but we can do it.
