I'm a big champion of people doing things outside the system.

Just because you have star power and a huge marketing budget, you can see from some professional web series, it doesn't equal views.

I think the whole definition of a geek is somebody being passionate and focused, and being proud of saying that they're passionate and focused, on a narrow range of subjects.

You don't need millions of dollars or millions of people if you're doing what you love.

Each one of us is finite, and if we can spread ourselves out in a way to inspire and help other people to be all they can be, I think that's so much more important than one person's glory.

I was a child of a tech family. My grandfather was a nuclear physicist and was always a gadget guy.

Basically, my socialization as a child didn't come from any schooling; it came from being in theater and meeting people online.

The substance of what it means to be a geek is essentially someone who's brave enough to love something against judgment. The heart of being a geek is a little bit of rejection.

I love sitcoms, and I grew up on sitcoms. That's my tasty junk food.

I believe you are never past the point of creating opportunities for yourself.

I created 'The Guild' because nobody was offering me the roles I thought I could do best at in Hollywood.

It makes me feel good that I can now sit there and go, I've worked with Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, all the great actors that I've worked with... Sir Ben Kingsley.

I wanted to live the inner life of every man I saw, look at the world through his eyes.

Where there's a chase or whatever, it's not being thrust into it.

I have an assuredness of myself. I never protect myself against it.

A person who has a dream knows what he is willing to give up in order to go up.

Most of the suicide hijackers came from Saudi Arabia, a place not lacking in wealth. But due to rapid population growth, the wealth per capita has fallen by about half in a generation.

We make art out of our loss.

I just hate the idea of being well known. I know that is almost impossible if you're an actor who has done okay, but I've always fought against it.

She did not so much cook as assassinate food.

I have been holding a dialogue with myself and girding myself to stand fast without running.
