You know, I always root for the older athlete. I root for the second album. I root for solo careers after the rock star breaks the band apart.

Conversely, the most powerful thing an actor can say is "no." If something is presented and it's a stereotypical role or something, you can say no to that, and that's very powerful.

Sometimes you just get giggles leprosy and it can't be helped. I find that there's a direct correlation between fatigue and breaking.

Don't challenge the world before becoming a big fire; otherwise they will extinguish you even with little spits!
