The Village did a lot for me, of course, because it was my first movie.

When I work on a film, I always tend to relate to the crew.

I have very vivid dreams and nightmares, and my biggest fear is of some kind of dystopian future where we're advanced in every way except in our humanity.

Girls can do anything, for sure. Even running in the mud in heels.

That is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life, running through the jungle in heels. Because also, mud was often times three feet deep, and that was full on for sure.

Right now as an artist, what I want to do is be a part of works that are unignorable. I couldn't be less interested in how people receive it, honestly. As long as it's unignorable.

The clearer that division [of social media] is between it not being a reflection of reality, and being a complete make-believe world, the more we're helping ourselves.

You can't become another person if you're not self-aware.

If someone down-votes you, or you don't get a like, or someone says something not cool, you project onto it the person or the people who have hurt you the most in life.

It was such a paradox for me that the only thing I know how to do is act, but that the first thing I abandoned while writing were the characters

The other thing I've been discussing with friends is: when you're born do you start at a zero, or five?

Your deepest valleys lead you to your highest mountaintops.

In times of your need, you will know your true friends.

Suicide is the utmost sincere and candid apology to the ones you hurt most

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realized that the Lord in his wisdom didn't work that way. So I just stole one and asked him to forgive me.

Having a situation where you have got in conflict with your suppliers all the time is not a great place to be.

To tell the truth, I'd scare me too.

I'm basically a very happy person and I don't have to be anybody else.

Thus all things altered. Nothing dies. And here and there the unbodied spirit flies.

Cities are broke, there are no jobs, people without a high school diploma and sometimes even with a college degree can't get jobs.

I'm tired, it's raining, and I am not a waterlily.
