I truly have a love-hate thing with the press.

A hero is somebody who is selfless, who is generous in spirit, who just tries to give back as much as possible and help people. A hero to me is someone who saves people and who really deeply cares.

I started doing makeup to make a living. Then I said, You're not supposed to be putting powder on other people. You're supposed to be powdering yourself.

Being typecast is a great thing for an actor. I was considered one of the New York mob actors.

You're not supposed to look back, you're supposed to keep going.

Self-harm - the world will come at you with knives anyway. You do not need to beat them to it.

If your faith is in experiences, anything that happens is likely to upset that faith.

You don't learn to write by going through a series of preset writing exercises. You learn to write by grappling with a real subject that truly matters to you.

I think acting is a fun thing because you get to have so many lifetimes in one lifetime, being all these different people.

My father was a painter and an anarchist, always getting in trouble for his performance art.
