I think a tragedy is something where the natural order of things is completely interrupted and doesn't right itself.

I don't love you anymore. Goodbye.

Alice: It's the only way to leave. "I don't love you anymore. Goodbye." Dan: Supposing you do still love them? Alice: You don't leave.

Alice: I don’t love you anymore. Goodbye. Dan: Since when? Alice: Now. Just now.

I used to go with my parents and loved it, I was in school plays, and I started reading plays before I started reading novels. I'll defend it to the hilt. When theatre is good it is fabulous.

Theatre is how I first encountered art on any level.

A couple of flop plays, a death in the family, and it could all collapse.

I'm a Golden Globe nominee, yes. It's very nice. It's a very nice thing, but I kind of think of all the awards I wasn't ever nominated for, for years and things.

I'm constantly having to be vigilant with a depressive tendency, an addictive tendency.

Well, you just know, as a writer, I didn't really write one of the five best screenplays of the year. There were lots of brilliant screenplays; I was just one of the lucky ones who got nominated.

When you're in your early 20s your love life seems to explode every 20 minutes or so. By the time you've reached your thirties, it is every five or ten years.

I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.

Be prepared for negative responses sometimes. It doesn't have anything to do with you. It's just sometimes you're not the right look, or you're not really what they were envisioning.

My family has always called me 'Lay Lay,' and my dad used to always call me 'Dynamite Termite' because I was really short and small and I hated to be still. I would never stop.

A man is born gentle and weak. At death he is hard and stiff.

I don't know how tall I am or how much I weigh. Because I don't want anybody to know my identity. I'm like a superhero. Call me Basketball Man.

Love is the reality of the soul.

Know thyself means this, that you get acquainted with what you know, and what you can do.

Im going to be shaking my booty when Im 55.

I had no intention of being an actor. I was quite good at it. I was pretty capable at other things but never any good at anything.
