I've made some really good friends from movies, but a lot of the time it's a very isolated experience that lives and dies during the production.

I can understand wanting to be invisible and mistrusting people and wanting to understand everything before you engage with the world.

Just because the character listens to an iPod and wears black nail polish, she's goth. That was just a misused word

I grew up in a little cul-de-sac in the suburbs and went to public school. I went to Costco on the weekends.

I wouldnt call acting a job - its a pleasure. I love getting to play different characters, getting to play dress up, and getting paid for it.

I need a lot of alone time as a human. And especially on a movie set when you're around people all day long. So it's actually kind of nice to go home to a hotel and be alone and unwind.

I always wanted to be an actor, but I was always fighting it. It never seemed that honorable to me, and I guess I was always afraid that I might fail.

I was a pretty dark person to begin with. I have always been more drawn to darkness

I'm not at all funny. I can do dark comedy pretty well, but straight-up comedy, I don't know. I'm much darker. I've been like that since I was 3 years old

There were certainly things I was scared to do, but I never thought I wasn't up for the challenge.

I am very slow to warm. I've always been sort of a loner. I didn't play team sports. I am better one-on-one than in big groups

Root out all the "to be" verbs in your prose and bludgeon them until dead. No "It was" or "they are" or "I am." Don't let it be, make it happen.

She wondered if she was doomed to be one of those people who spend their lives trying things.

Quit while there is still time - at about 12 or 13 years of age!

Jack Sprat could eat no fat,His wife could eat no lean. A real sweet pair of neurotics.

Sexism is alive and well! We were saying this forty years ago. I'm an optimist, so I like to think we've progressed in some ways - in Australia, we get equal pay.

Love isn’t something you have to deserve.

It's very liberating when you finally realize it's impossible to make everyone like you.

I wanted to push the envelope, and I wanted to go so far as to actually offend both the liberals and the right. I think I have succeeded.

Doctors said 'go home and enjoy what little is left of your life'. He recovered.

When you see God in everyone, then they see God in you.
