I think it would be great to play a superhero. That will be one of my goals.

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.

Obsessed is a word that the lazy use to describe the dedicated.

Text is, in some ways, on the way out, unfortunately. There are dating sites now that are just pictures.

Photography is a transformation, not a reproduction.

Baseball is a nineteenth-century pastoral game. Football is a twentieth-century technological struggle.

Remember that our nation's first great leaders were also our first great scholars.

I believed in Bobby Kennedy. Campaigning for him was an attempt to give back something to this country that has given me so much.

I'm a human who is aware of the history of humanity and the ways in which the movies touch on those things.
