The foundation of greatness is honoring the small things of the present moment, instead of pursuing the idea of greatness.
People are interested in examining the way we consume narratives.
If the participants regret participating, then you won't have something that reveals some greater truth about human condition or allow some other perspective. You need people to want to be there so they can talk at length and want to continue talking to you.
The more someone talks, the more they reveal about themselves and the more they reveal about the way something has affected them.
The power of narrative sort of defines something forever and ever.
People are so complex that you can't possibly know anybody in 90 minutes.
You can't possibly spend a lifetime with anybody and know them.
Half my life is an act of revision.
I get the greatest joy from just doing anything, being an actor. Doing music, and doing what I love to do. I don't make a huge distinction between comedy and drama.

Everything we do in life, we do with certain expectations.
One brave deed makes no hero.
