We are perfectionists. We are hungry to work all the time. We are entertained by every aspect of business and we never want to stop working.

Just keep asking questions. Does this job allow me to be myself? Does it make me smarter? Does it open doors? Does it represent a compromise I accept? Does it touch my inner being?

Ask yourself: Does the job touch my heart and feed my soul? You will never be what you were meant to be if you aren't having fun.

You've got to dig in [and learn about things you don't know] if you want to stay in the conversation.

I always thought that we would be that couple in the movies but not all movies have a happy ending

I'm fascinated by offensive subject matter. Always have been. It is very natural to me, as any teach I've ever had growing up could attest.

Foundations to be reliable must always be unshakable.

Toleration is the greatest gift of the mind; it requires the same effort of the brain that it takes to balance oneself on a bicycle.

A lot of films need planning in order to survive at all. It's part of the dog and pony show

There's a little bit of me in all of the characters I've played. I've never really had the opportunity to play something that's a complete departure from me.
