I went to school for fine art. I'm a decent housepainter, but I'm a really good fine art painter.

My personal style is really comfy: flats, tennis shoes, ponytails, no makeup.

People can do all kinds of things that maybe aren't wise in hindsight because of jealousy.

I have more things going on right now than I can actually do without the invention of a cloning device. It is great!

My acting teacher used to say that people reveal themselves in their opposites.

I have to remember to not criticize other networks for other shows when I'm doing interviews because some day I'm going to be going to them, looking for a job, I'm assuming.

I am no longer able to be anonymous.

One of my main techniques for acting is I try to know almost nothing beyond the words that I have to say, because that's my zone of control.

I can watch endless humans get killed, but if I see a movie and they kill a dog, I practically want to walk out.

I've been married for four years, and I'm still finding out things about my husband.

I was collecting Barbies. I know... embarrassing. I sold them all on eBay, and traded them for vintage dishes. So I've collected two things.

Dreams grow bigger and bolder every time you nourish them.

When one burns one's bridges, what a very nice fire it makes.

My preference is for prose with more silence in it, language that contains more pockets of strangeness.

With my portable recording system, I didn't feel like I was listening as a distant observer; rather, I had been sucked into a new space - becoming an integral part of the experience itself.

A house is not a machine to live in. It is the shell of man, his extension, his release, his spiritual emanation.

I had thought of writing, actually, and that later on I'd be a novelist.

Both place and time were changed, and I dwelt nearer to those parts of the universe and to those eras in history which had most attracted me.

It's an unusual situation for me to be working and making a living.

I've been doing my job well for 17 years. People must see something in me. Otherwise, I'd be over and out.
