I think that's okay and that is part of growing up and that is good, to learn that the world isn't always your oyster or isn't everybody's oyster.

I did some theatre. I had some smaller roles in a couple TV shows and films. I used to think I did a lot of acting, but my 'career' started when I started Homeland.

On an average day, I have two things to read in my purse: a book and a play.

I like to make pies. Thats kind of my new obsession - peach, blueberry, apple, strawberry. I make a really good pumpkin pie with real pumpkin.

I take a few pictures a week, but the best part is waiting for my film to be developed. The suspense is exciting, and the reward is great.

I like records. My favorite is Simon and Garfunkel.

As I've started school I have a student-feeling wardrobe and then because I travel a lot, things feel very different for different places and days.

I do a lot of vintage, of course, but I really feel so particular about clothing. I think it stems from acting, like if I'm not wearing the proper shoes for a character I feel totally off.

I really do like working very closely with a director and developing characters.

Even the creative things feel mathematic, almost.

I find it really weird that sexuality is still so taboo in films and violence isn't. It really bewilders me.

You became the sonnet that was etched in my minds eye. Existing outside the dreams we shared in the presence of our eternal love.

Temptation can sway even the purest mind to sin, and the denialist to claim that tomorrow will bring change. However, the irrefutable truth is—tomorrow, my friend, never comes.

The truth is that contraception saves lives, prevents unplanned pregnancies, improves outcomes for children and reduces the number of abortions.

True friendship destroys envy, and true love destroys coquetterie.

The suburbs dream of violence.

The cinema, as literature, as all the plastic arts, do not exist outside of a critical system that allows us to study them.

You are the only boss you have. And I want you to be the most demanding boss that you can be. If you really want to make a success of this business, then you must put yourself on a schedule.

Heaven never helps the man who will not help himself

There are three things a man must do before his life is done; Write two lines in APL, And make the buggers run.

Arouse a bee and it will come at you with the force of a dragon.
