The actor in me always wants to link himself to a leader who's inspired.

You can always find contradictions and hope, in hopeless circumstances, and a sense of redemption in somebody who makes the same mistake, over and over. So far, so good. That's how I put it.

I've just always been a fan of really fringy, outsider things, and I've always been a balloon in the wind, in terms of where that takes me.

I'm not a guy who likes cliches. I don't think that stereotypes and cliches are the end of the line, when it comes to a performance.

I think it's hilarious when middle-aged white men try to take themselves seriously. It makes me laugh.

I often think about the class differences involved in "jobs" vs. "careers."

When facts are few, speculations are most likely to represent individual psychology.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster of lost door keys, the hour badly spent. The art of losing isn't hard to master.

One nip from a dragon and you're down? Get up, you craven school (boy/girl)!

Art itself is underserved when we don't realize the power of it.

I've been rich and I've been poor. Rich is better.

A rebel without a clue.
