I'm decorating my parents' house for Christmas. . . I hope they find my manger with a baby yeezus in it as funny as I do!
We're given a code to live our lives by. We don't always follow it, but it's still there.
I got obsessed with classical music, I got obsessed with Chopin, with playing the piano.
Speaking very generally, I find that women are spiritually, emotionally, and often physically stronger than men.

Shakespeare doesn't really write subtext, you play the subtext.
I did have a knack for playing weirdos. There's still sort of this perception of me out there as being this crazy guy.

Athens is the birthplace of modern tragedy. In the Greek tragic plays, the tableau of the characters would become a statue, like the statue of Oedipus reaching up to the Gods with blood spilling out of his eyes. I love the way the Greeks would immortalize experience. Things that all of us feel.
I think that the whole idea of ‘no regrets’ was always a silly idea to me, because of course I regret all the places I went wrong, but that’s what creating anything, and being human, is all about. Of course if I could go back and knew what I know now, I absolutely would do it differently, I’d do it the right way, but part of being human is that we can’t go back, we can only hope that if we come across that moment again, we’ll do it the right way.
