My father believes that Western religions are death cults, which I agree with.

When you finally accept that it's OK not to have answers and it's OK not to be perfect, you realize that feeling confused is a normal part of what it is to be a human being.

You go through spells where you feel that maybe you're too sensitive for this world. I certainly felt that.

My kind of director is an actor-director who writes.

I don't think any of us are normal people.
