I never think of myself as an actor who takes work home with them.

I met this homeless man who had never owned a shirt in his life. He had taken his pants and worn them as a shirt and I thought it was so creative. He was liberated from the conventions of fashion.

I wear everything from hip-hop baggy pants to beautiful Armani dresses. I also like to mix vintage clothing with designer pieces.

I'm going to Columbia University but I'm trying to keep that low-profile because I don't want weird people following me there. I want the experience of normal college life.

Make yourself useful, not just on a day to day basis, but as a lifetime thing.

I like analyzing human behavior. It's complex. That's what keeps me going.

I tend to gravitate toward the more powerful roles. As opposed to the doe-eyed girl who bats her eyelashes and runs around in towels, you now what I mean? Because that kind of makes me want to vomit.

My regular school didn't know what to do with me!

I am a big fan of horror movies but I had never thought that I had wanted to act in one because I don't think that actors get to do much in them. They're usually just reacting.

I think that ultimately I just have to be myself. You know, I don't do anything that outlandish anyway.

I always feel like a goofy little kid.

I wish politicians the world over would stop claiming credit for economic growth that happens despite them, not because of them. Grow up...

Without worship, we go about miserable.

I'm a ninja! I like swords and knives and stuff like that.

The true poet has no choice of material. The material plainly chooses him, not he it.

The maxims of men reveal their characters.

Resolve was never stronger than in the morning, after the night, when it was never weaker

Communication: the thing humans forgot when we invented words.

It's great when you have people who will speak passionately and honestly about what they are doing.

I think of a movie as a human body. You can feel the pump of the heart and the blood going through the veins when you watch that scene.

The worst thing you can do is say to yourself, "I want to be just like somebody else." You have to absorb knowledge from someone else, but ultimately you have to find your own voice.
