I want to show up to work and take risks. I don't ever want to play it safe.

I've never been someone to count lines, look at it that way.

I got beat up by the comic-book kids when I was younger! They were cooler than me. Talk about levels of geekdom, I was a couple rungs below the kids who read comic books. Yeah. Not so cool, man.

I always like playing the bad guys. They have more fun!

Fun without sell gets nowhere, but sell without fun tends to become obnoxious.

If they found a way to make shooting in 240p expensive, it would be trendy.

I think we hear a lot of talk about college, and we don't hear about early education.

SM is an art. Doing it well requires more than a bag full of expensive whips and exotic electrical toys, a closet full of fetish clothes, or a basement filled with bondage furniture.
