I don't know what I'm searching for. I haven't found it. I don't have a job, and I don't have anything lined up. I don't know what I'm looking for.

I can understand wanting to be invisible and mistrusting people and wanting to understand everything before you engage with the world.

Just because the character listens to an iPod and wears black nail polish, she's goth. That was just a misused word

I grew up in a little cul-de-sac in the suburbs and went to public school. I went to Costco on the weekends.

I wouldnt call acting a job - its a pleasure. I love getting to play different characters, getting to play dress up, and getting paid for it.

I need a lot of alone time as a human. And especially on a movie set when you're around people all day long. So it's actually kind of nice to go home to a hotel and be alone and unwind.

I always wanted to be an actor, but I was always fighting it. It never seemed that honorable to me, and I guess I was always afraid that I might fail.

I was a pretty dark person to begin with. I have always been more drawn to darkness

I'm not at all funny. I can do dark comedy pretty well, but straight-up comedy, I don't know. I'm much darker. I've been like that since I was 3 years old

There were certainly things I was scared to do, but I never thought I wasn't up for the challenge.

I am very slow to warm. I've always been sort of a loner. I didn't play team sports. I am better one-on-one than in big groups

And I loved this moment for all it's pain...We seemed for a moment like two parts of the same thing.

I believe that Reverend [Florine] Thompson's hit on something. My parents, I and a lot of my friends growing up in that community had tremendous drive.

Each particle of matter is an immensity, each leaf a world, each insect an inexplicable compendium.

For the first time in a long time, our leaders in Washington understand what Americans of all religious backgrounds have long held to be true: through faith, all things are possible.

When I'm really involved or getting towards the end of a novel, I can write for up to ten hours a day. At those times, it's as though I'm writing a letter to someone I'm desperately in love with.

In the big picture I write for an audience of people I've never met. By the final draft I'm looking for anything in the prose that's prospectively boring to strangers.

I have to give props to my stunt double, who is the real deal and gets to do all the fun stuff and make me look good.

Chances are that neither the client nor the agency will ever know very much about what role the ad has played in sales or profits of the client, either short-term or long-term.

My motivation was I wanted to look like my favorite super heroes when I was a kid. Pretty cheesy, but that is what got me started.

My work is the embodiment of dreams in one form or another.
