I love the simple poetry of theater, where you can stand in a spotlight on a stage and wrap a coat around you, and say, 'It was 1860 and it was winter...'

Any actor who tells you that they have become the people they play, unless they’re clearly diagnosed as a schizophrenic, is bullshitting you.

My favorite meal would have to be good old-fashioned eggs, over easy, with bacon. Many others, but you can't beat that on a Sunday morning, especially with a cup of tea.

You choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color.

I enjoy playing characters where the silence is loud.

I had a guitar when I was 6 or 7, a plastic guitar with the Beatles' faces on it. It would be a collector's item now. It would fetch a hefty sum, I imagine.

My passion and energy get mistaken for anger.

I'm a traditional martial artist and I'm always going to carry myself in the most respectful way I can.

Anything that ends with death isn't really mind, just the things that pass through a mind.

I have that thing in my stomach where I just need to keep striving for things. In my mind, I want the fairy tale

My favorite place in the whole world is Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

[There is] is all part of the whole neoliberal shift in the economy. But the parties have shifted to the right.

The beauty of my profession [architecture] lies in its randomness and surprise. And don't think I can choose my projects. I have to build what's offered to me.

As long as my ballets are danced, I will live.

The tiger is humbled by memories of prey.
