I really don't have a specific idea of where I want my career to go, I just have an idea of wanting to continue to work and work on things that I like and think are good.

Most of my comedy is accidental, I would say. If I don't know what the joke is, I'm going to play it better than if I do.

I've seen some of my favorite actors give bad performances, and I have to tell myself that failure is a part of success.

You know what, maybe I just want a different kind of life. Maybe I want to open an antique store and coffee shop, and have a different kind of life.

What you learn in any acting class is how to make a fool of yourself and enjoy things and get out of your head.

In school I really loved Shakespeare, and I participated in a country-wide Shakespeare competition.

You have to be kinder to yourself, because it's a part of being good.

I don't need to be crazy rich and crazy famous. I would just like to keep going.

The thing I'd miss most is the feeling when acting is going well, when you start a play and you end the night and you look back and go, "What just happened?"

If I had a child and she was a girl, I'd hope she'd do something different from me.

Acting was something I wanted to work at and put the time into.

To question reason is to trust it.

Leaders in OVER their heads is the mere result of getting ahead of their intended SEASON.

You are the completeness of my incompleteness.

When videotape came so a lot of movies that I do have a kind of afterlife in video. Things where movies that I do would come and go they still come and go but you can go rent them and see them on TV.

I have always paid careful attention to social and economic conflicts, to the dialectic - if we can call it that - between high and low. Maybe it's because I was not born or brought up in affluence.

They have taken the care and upbringing of children out of the hands of parents, where it belongs, and thrown it upon a gang of irresponsible and unintelligent quacks.

I made efforts to swallow tears and to protect the species of the Japanese nation.

A distinction of property results from that very protection which a free Government gives to unequal faculties of acquiring it.

That which is produced with intention has passed over from non-existence to existence.

Once you get into a part, and someone sees you, you get asked to do it again.
