I use a lot of sense memory and, well, I can't really avoid getting into character.

Im a combination between extreme insecurity and extreme confidence.

Going to the darkest place you can to make yourself really upset and adding that with the physicality and running around, you can work yourself into hysteria that way.

I love stories about people that, whatever situation they're in, you can relate to them in a way.

I have wrought my simple planIf I give one hour of joyTo the boy who’s half a man, Or the man who’s half a boy.

Every affair is a fairy tale or a tragedy.

It is better to be hungry in joy, than to be filled in sorrow.
