I got into plays in high school then I ended up going to college for it.

I know I wasn't as handsome as some other guys, but I was OK with that.

All over the world, young men and young women will always dream dreams.

The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool.

The ambition, the drive, the wanting to be the center of attention, the wanting to succeed... They're all inside me somewhere.

I didn't go out looking for negative characters; I went out looking for people who have a struggle and a fight to tackle. That's what interests me.

Don't let people treat you like a cigarette, they only use you when they're bored and step on you when they're done. Be like drugs, let them die for you.

I work constantly but I work at a lot of different things. You know, I run a theater company in New York, I direct plays, act in plays, in movies, so I try to keep it eclectic.

No one wants to be pretentious about what they do or take it seriously, because that is just weird.

I think you should be serious about what you do because this is it. This is the only life you've got.

To be loved, I think, is the thing that gets you up in the morning.

When I don't feel hurt, I hope they bury me.

The study of psychological trauma has repeatedly led into realms of the unthinkable and foundered on fundamental questions of belief.

Don't miss the bus, boy. You're missing a lot of things in the world, better not miss that bus.

Vision is a romantic thing. We have got into 'talent identification'. I am much more interested in passion - finding people who are really excited about doing something.

Flying is more than a sport and more than a job; flying is pure passion and desire, which fill a lifetime.

The ultimate notion of right is that which tends to the universal good; and when one's acting in a certain manner has this tendency he has a right thus to act.

Death comes in a flash, and that's the truth of it, the person's gone in less than 24 frames of film.

I have half a dozen designers who work for me, they 'realise' most of the design work, and I act as the design director and the main point of client contact on each project.

If you're a struggling artist having money problems just superglue a brick in the middle of a blanket, and call it art. Someone will buy it.

I encourage active skepticism - when people are being skeptical because they're trying to identify the best course of action. They're trying to identify the next step for themselves or other people.
