We're all on a journey. The average American switches professions four times. I'm lucky to be in a business where I can change the character I am playing every couple of months.

I think you must have your own office. I don't believe ever in shared office spaces.

If we import compulsion in matters of religion, there is no doubt that we shall be committing suicide.

Don't think it, ink it.

When you find somebody good, keep them in your life.
