I'm used to being the background. I'm used to having work that only lasts for a little while. I'm used to being - working in the real world, where real things are.

I like contrasting between black and white and color.

I know where the mistakes are. Nothing is perfect and I understand that.

I try not to manipulate reality... What will happen, will happen. Let things be themselves.

I like working late at night and then going into the house and sitting down and watching a movie and then going to sleep.

I had always worked. I always had part-time jobs.

The jury’s still out on your level of intellect. After all, you signed up with Evil Incorporated in the first place.

Life without a phone is riskier, lonelier, more vivid.

I take it that what all men are really after is some form of perhaps only some formula of peace.

It's lovely being a producer. It's really a lot of fun and I can learn a lot.

I saw a tree fall in the woods, and I didn't hear it.
