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 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 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

I've always had a respect for psychiatry as a profession.

Notwithstanding these setbacks, the dream of a beautiful American orchestra goes on, and I share Dr. King's faith that each year we move inexorably closer to a magnificent opening night.

When I was in my twenties, it felt like I was riding wild horses, and I was hoping I didnt go over a cliff.

UFO's attitude toward the subject is very similar to mine. It's not an advocacy; its philosophy is more I want to believe this, but I want it proved.

What I'm saying is America has a job deficit because hundreds of thousands of jobs went elsewhere. Not because [Barack] Obama raised your taxes. He, in fact, lowered them. They are lower.

The highway of life is filled with flat squirrels that couldn't make a decision.

The journey has been a parody of my life recently: rushing, waiting, wandering, feeling lost and losing sleep, wondering if I'm getting anywhere.

There is no greater discovery than seeing God as the author of your destiny.

The moment you say 'I know everything' is the end of your growth.

I love creation more than life, and I must express myself before disappearing.

If you want it you must obtain it by great labor.
