I've always been happy just to be working. It doesn't really matter for me how many people are familiar with my name or my picture, or whatever.

Everybodys constantly being destroyed and rebuilding themselves, some more drastically than others.

Everything that happens on Wall Street only fortifies my opinion that there is in fact a more ludicrous industry than the entertainment industry.

Let's point out the elephant in the room: Actor bands are not notoriously successful enterprises. I can't think of any.

Design is the fundamental creative activity with which we direct our lives, and collectively, the earth's transformation from its original, natural state into our human-made world.

I started acting because I was miserable and crazy and wanted to be someone else, to run around and scream in front of people without getting in trouble.

Plenty of people are onto the emptiness but it takes real guts to see the hopelessness.

That's the great secret of humans: we're all the same person. The best thing to do is just go for the hug.

When you put your costume on and you get your hair and your makeup done [for a role] and you stare in the mirror you feel like a different person.

There are certain ways of being that people don't find acceptable or very pleasant in regular life, but you go out on stage and do pretty much the same thing and they find it spellbinding.

The stage is a routine. It keeps you grounded, like a metronome. I find that soothing.

You’re not a human being until you value something more than the life of your body. And the greater the thing you live and die for the greater you are.

Self is for service.

Soft as the earth is mankind and both need to be altered.

For under scrutiny you will find that even an open book can have a surprise scribbled in its margins.

All social life, stability, progress, depend upon each man's confidence in his neighbor, a reliance upon him to do his duty.

I think there's an instinct to make grotesque horror films that are purely carnal, like the 'Saw' movies.

It is my nature to strive to do my best. This does tend to take a toll on you.

As soon as you think you know someone else's truth better than they do, you are in deep water.

Time to go inward would you believe that I'm afraid to stare down the barrel of choices I have made.

Mostly I straddle reality and the imagination. My reality needs imagination like a bulb needs a socket. My imagination needs reality like a blind man needs a cane.
