People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.

I'm not comfortable being around too many people. I don't like being out in public too much. I don't like going to bars. I don't like doing celebrity stuff. So most of the characters I play are people who don't always feel comfortable beyond their small circle of friends.

The beauty is that through disappointment you can gain clarity, and with clarity comes conviction and true originality.

I consider myself the end user. I make movies that I would like.

Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.

Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.
