My theory about actors is we're all walking milk cartons. Expirations dates everywhere.

Once you understand that someone has Tourette and that they can't help their tics, it takes away the distraction. And you can engage your compassion. You feel for them. You embrace them.

The Victorian era is the sexiest age for me, but I also like a woman in a pair of jeans.

We are not meant to spend the rest of our lives underground. We need to go home and tell a strange story that no one will believe.

Infinity...is used in physics simply as a shorthand for "a very big number.

It's true that what is morbid is highly valued today, and so you may think that I am only joking or that I've devised just one more means of praising Art with the help of irony.

If you see a better world, you're morally obligated to create it

Don't seek to lead people to a God you have ceased to believe in.

Don't you get it? We are The Walking Dead!
