It is intensely frustrating. The longer you live, the more interesting life gets, and yet many of the parts involve carrying trays and putting lamb chops down in front of the leading man.

I hope to have more time to think, to look at the sky, dealing with less crisis management, to learn another language, to travel.

Sometimes I think it'd be fun to do a completely different job for a while. You've got one life and you do the same job for the whole of it, and you think - was that a good use of a life?

I have a wardrobe full of expensive clothes, but wear the same two T-shirts. I've never found a look.

I often wrangle with myself as an actor, and wrestle with the process. In striving for authenticity I often have the feeling I am falling short.

I often don't feel like the person I look like.

What is more important in a library than anything else-than everything else-is the fact that it exists.

I never felt like there was an unconscious part of me around that woke up or that came out of the closet; there wasn't a struggle, there wasn't an attempt to suppress.

Respect People, Inspect Ideas.

While we allow the inhabitants of imaginary remote corners the authenticity of savages or sufferers, we rarely suppose them to possess the authenticity of complex, sophisticated perceptions.

Merely gathering knowledge may become the most useless work a man can do. What can you do to help and heal the world? That is the educational test.

I've made my share of mistakes, but had the good fortune to have them not be so public.

It's good to believe in yourself, but there are people out there who can make or break you.

A writer without interest or sympathy for the foibles of his fellow man is not conceivable as a writer.

Have to stay together, can't switch band, but you can have a boyfriend, have to get a boyfriend..!!!

The car has become an article of dress without which we feel uncertain, unclad, and incomplete in the urban compound.
