I try to have all my characters have a sense of humor. To me the most interesting thing is a desperate character. I think desperation is funny.

I seem to be able to get along with anybody when I work because I really enjoy being there.

I always wanted to have a career that would keep me at home in New York so I can work in the theater all the time and be involved in the creative process from the ground up.

Growing up, I wasn't an athlete or anything like that. The only place I felt like I belonged was in the theater.

I don't go see big, silly movies. I like small things about regular folks, you know?

I'm not very good in a classroom sort of setting. I never was. I was kind of a clown in high school - got suspended a lot.

I've never won an award for anything, and I think it's weird. I mean, that's really cool but it's strange to think you could get an award for acting. I always thought that was strange.

I'm getting a lot of uninteresting romantic lead guys that look good and fall in love sort of garbage.

The time is always right to create the life you want.

Memory lived not in initial possession but in the freed hands, pardoned and freed, and in the heart that can empty but fill again, in the patterns restored by dreams.

Unless a man enters upon the vocation intended for him by nature, and best suited to his peculiar genius, he cannot succeed.

I'm in mourning for my life.

We never sit down before we start making a record and talk about this new sonic palette that we are going to try to explore. We always let the record kind of reveal itself to us over time.

World Christians are heaven's expatriates, camping where the Kingdom is best served.

It is a heavy downpour of rain which drenches the soil to fullness; likewise only a profuse shower of love can overcome hatred.

But mostly I think two people do share a moment, and we all know that feeling, and it can put a spring in your step for the rest of the day.

If I got involved with the chat rooms and Facebook and everything - I would probably never leave. That's why I don't do it. I literally don't do it. At all.

To know there is a choice is to have to make the choice: change or stay: river or rock.
