In real life, I don't fall in love with the guy who wines and dines me, I fall in love with the flaws and the humanity.

I don't want to put a pause on the rest of my life; I'm really enjoying getting older and the wisdom that comes from that.

I like exploring both the light parts and the dark parts of a single person. And all of those shades tend to come out most acutely in stories about families.

I kind of moved out of the town I grew up in as quick as I could. I left right after high school.

I'm always studying something or trying to learn something, keep myself creatively occupied, because I think that energy can get kind of destructive if it doesn't have somewhere to go.

We have our whole lives to try and get a glimpse of what that could be, in our own life. It's so exciting.

I feel lucky to be an actor because you always learn something from each part you play.

Inflation consists of subsidizing expenditures that give no returns with money that does not exist.

When all comes to all, the most precious element in life is wonder. Love is a great emotion, and power is power. But both love and power are based on wonder.

To sell something, tell a woman it's a bargain; tell a man it's deductible.

It's tens of millions of calculations just to design one connection between a piece of structural steel and another piece of structural steel.

What would the world look like if we asked ourselves the following more often; are our actions helping others find a way to feel more freer, more dignified and more beautiful?

The so-called positive press has in some ways been more difficult to swallow than the negative.

Don't integrate anything into your wardrobe that's going to make you feel hugely uncomfortable when you leave home. Get the comfort thing down first - baby steps.

Go sit down and look pale.
