Acting is different all the time. When you're on set, different films, or just even in between, it's never the same. I think that's one of the things I love about it.

Writing is work and cooking is relaxing.

Dad always told me that if you're going to work on something, it might as well be something you're proud of.

I just found you - I don't want to leave you so soon.
