I think it's important to keep the audience interested. But the best advice that I've gotten is to live in the moment. Sometimes you can get too into your head when you're in a scene.

I love writing. I love to write, and I would eventually love to have some of my work produced.

I hate taking myself seriously. It drives me crazy!

I don't ever want to be bored, doing the same thing from 9 to 5. I've always loved pretending and being someone different.

There are always ups and downs, no matter how successful you are.

I tried softball and soccer. I just didn't take as much of a liking to it as I did sitting in a movie theater and watching people recreate a story, and doing it myself, as well.

I like the idea of having a little bit of a mystery about me.

Theater is the only thing I always came back to. When I was 9, I asked my mom if I could be on TV. She was like, "Well, okay. You can try."

I always want the audience to identify with my character in some way. I mean, sometimes you'll get characters that aren't very identifiable. Sometimes you can't relate to your character at all.

I don't think I'd ever want to direct. I don't think I have as much discipline to direct as I would like to have, and I don't want my hair color to not go grey during that process.

I don't ever want an acting to be a job. I want this to be an outlet for my creativity, and something I just simply enjoy doing. I don't ever want it to become something too serious.

Life is more than breath and a heartbeat

Garbage in, garbage out. Or rather more felicitously: the tree of nonsense is watered with error, and from its branches swing the pumpkins of disaster.

Life is hard for everyone. That's why there's such a nice reward at the end of it.

Writing a novel that works is an extremely difficult thing to do. It requires a level of skill and dedication that always surprises me.

Give a thing a name and it will somehow come to be.

Building up a weakness just makes you less disabled. Building a strength can take you to the top of the world.

Money can run out but talent is forever

I can always tell which is the front end of a horse, but beyond that, my art is not above the ordinary.

Grab life by the balls and squeeze.

Desire is proof of the availability.
