Some people go to Berlin to get more cutting edge; I went and started wearing lederhosen and going to visit baroque palaces.
My friends and I started making films when I was still in kindergarten.
I get way too much happiness from good food.
My favorite thing about acting is you have to learn how to work with people that you probably would never try to. Some people just aren't supposed to be in a room together, and you have to be in a room with a group of people who might not all get along and you have to figure out how to come together for one thing. That collaboration is special, and people don't get to exercise that. I think that's why people become stubborn, and I think that's why people become uninspired to change. In this job you have to.
I'm a very social person and I love being out in the world, and the feeling of not having that is the scariest thing to me.
I believe that you are only in control of so much. So whatever you are not in control of you can't worry about.
I think every day you try to soak up as much as you can to learn and understand things better.
It is not enough to do, one must also become. I wish to be wiser, stronger, better. This--" I held out my hands "--this thing that is me is incomplete. It is only the raw material with which I have to work. I want to make it better than I received it.
But then, look at me. My brain is incorrectly formed, and I'm shaped like a tube. Plus, I'm an alcoholic, a "survivor" of childhood sexual abuse, was raised in a cult and have no education. So, really, if you think about it, the only thing that separates me from the guy with the stinky foot and no teeth is a book deal and some cologne.
Christianity. . . sees the necessity for man to have spiritual values and it shows him how to get at those through physical sacraments.
All the old houses that I knew when I was a child were full of books, bought generation after generation by members of the family. Nobody told you to read this or not to read that.
