It's an amazing thing to be able to fall into the world of your childhood fantasy.

I am very much in love with no one in particular.

I'd like to make as much art as I possibly can before I die, so I'm working on a few things.

There's no true value placed in learning, if the point of you learning something is to simply know it for a test, to get a grade, to go to the good school.

Acting and making art is just something I love to do, and I love to tell stories that feel important, honest and necessary. It's not about me. It's about being part of something.

Getting socially outcast can be the best and most informative thing that can ever happen to you because you have to learn who you are separate from the pack.

I feel like a sickness and dystrophy is growing in people, like people are getting sicker, something about our society, something about our psychological structures. We’re not whole.

If one took a role with the intention of, "I'll show them what I can do!," then it's not going to be good because the ego is going to just block everything.

My goal beyond being an actor, is just being an open channel.

I shop only at thrift stores and vintage stores. In New York, I like a place called Star Struck, and a place called The Family Jewels.

As bronze may be much beautified by lying in the dark damp soil, so men who fade in dust of warfare fade fairer, and sorrow blooms their soul.

My virgin sense of sound was steeped In the music of young streams; And roses through the casement peeped, And scented all my dreams.

Every age is blind to its own worst madness.

Music, which should pulsate with life, needs new means of expression, and science alone can infuse it with youthful vigor.

A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.

In fact, my popularity seems almost entirely a masculine phenomenon.

Remember: there is no place, no community, no external circumstance that is not serviceable for the battle you have chosen. The exception is only such work as directly serves your vices.

My mind was clear and penetrating at the time, for it was midnight, the hour at which I am most brave and most free.
