So many people are passive participants in their very short time of having a consciousness, and those who aren't inspire me. Like Malala Yousafzai or a ninety-two-year-old yoga instructor.

My tendency to internalize emotion is probably why I'm an actor. I'm comfortable performing angrily but have such difficulty expressing anger in my life.

I can't have a daily routine. I feel really overwhelmed a lot of the time. I don't take much comfort in routine, but if I don't start, I could really get eaten alive by my industry.

Giving materialistically is the soft option, but when you give from what you do for others then your reward is immeasurable contentment.

If you're a writer, you don't serve genres. Genres serve you. Like, if you're writing a science fiction story set on a spaceship, you don't have to have someone thrown out an airlock.

How fast you are moving is more important than where you are.

I can't really attribute my success onscreen to any formula and suggest you "do this or that" to make it as an actor.

I draw in my sleep (dream of drawing) a lot. I don't think I have ever drawn anything in real life while I was sleeping, though. I do keep a pad near my bed, just in case.

I haven't made up my mind about doing anymore Landover books.

Slander is the tool of cowards.

The unknown is where we go to find new things and intuition is how we find them.

I will utter what I believe today, if it should contradict all I said yesterday.

Is sloppiness in speech caused by ignorance or apathy? I don't know and I don't care.
