The challenge and love, for me, of acting is if you get to transform or do something you haven't done before. That's fun.

I think my ultimate directorial style is 'play.' In reference to theater, it's called a play - I believe in that noun, and the verb that goes with it.

A lot of acting requires you to be a charming version of yourself.

If everyone thinks you're bizarre and creepy, then you play bad guys. If everyone thinks you're beautiful and wants to kiss you, then you play the lead role.

When you listen to someone's songs, their soul comes through.

I played guitar when I was a kid, a little bit. I can tool around with a guitar, but I'm certainly not a musician.

I can sing, but it takes an incredible amount of work for me to sound acceptable.

One of the things that's fun about that is that sometimes you grow up knowing about someone because they were famous, but you don't really know what they were like before they were famous.

When people talk about careers, I always feel like the connotation of a career is that you're actually choosing things.

One of the fun things for me, about acting, is trying to transform. Transformational acting was the reason why I became an actor, in the first place.

We long for things that harm us and run from the things that grow and heal us. We think good is bad and bad is good.

We must shift our allegiances from fear to curiosity, from attachment to letting go, from control to trust, and from entitlement to humility.

About 90 percent of the downtime comes from, at most, 10 percent of the defects.

When I owned the theater, I had the Glen Miller Orchestra. I had 20 girls singing and dancing. I had a cast of characters. It was a big group production, as well as ushers, ticket takers.

The beaver told the rabbit as they stared at the Hoover Dam: No, I didn't build it myself, but it's based on an idea of mine

As long as you put on a jersey, no matter what kind of jersey it is, as long as you're supporting the game of basketball, I enjoy it.

I sing the joy of wandering and the pleasure of the wanderer's death

I plan to stay in music. I plan to keep making records.

The ways we miss our lives are life.

Alas! that the farthest and of all our thoughts should be the thought of our ends.
