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 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 grew up in a little cul-de-sac in the suburbs and went to public school. I went to Costco on the weekends.

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.

If you think about something else hard enough, you can mostly control your feelings.

... one fire burns out another’s burning.One pain is lessened by another’s anguish. -Romeo & Juliet

There is no better exercise for your heart than reaching down and helping to lift someone up

Don't get hung up on the size. If you feel bad about yourself because a 12 is what fits, take a Sharpie, and write '6' on the label.

Purposelessness is the fruitful mother of crime.

For the Mexican people, for the Mexican government, the very good relationship with the United States of America is, of course, essential.

You either have it or you don't. You play your horn just like you sing a song or a hymn. If it's in your heart, you express yourself in the tune.

Robots may gradually attain a degree of 'self-awareness' and consciousness of their own.

As far as movies, I love 'The Notebook.' I always say that I wish I could play Rachel McAdams' character. She's amazing. That's the movie every girl wants to be in.

Brokenness is the operative issue of our time - broken souls, broken hearts, broken places.
