Just went to the gym and worked on every body part. Four people slapped me.
I think my drive to work has gone up a bit since I've gotten older.
The more I work the happier I am.
I was kind of embarrassed by some of the films I had done. I was like, "Oh, they're going to think I don't have street cred. "
There are obviously people who want to be very niche, but I think for the most part everybody is trying to reach a larger audience.
I have a sister who is a dancer and dance teacher. We grew up dancing together. I wanted to become a ballerina when I was a kid, so she and I were always at ballet conservatories and going to school with our hair in buns.
It's surprising to a lot of people because ballerinas look so long, but it's more of a proportion thing. Their legs are long in proportion to their body but in reality they're very tiny.
I was there when Abbe Georges Lemaître first proposed this [Big Bang] theory. . . . There is no rational reason to doubt that the universe has existed indefinitely, for an infinite time. . . . . It is only myth that attempts to say how the universe came to be, either four thousand or twenty billion years ago.
I always cause those who are near to me more suffering than pleasure.
I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.
I think I view myself primarily as a fiction writer. Poetry is more of a "hobby," a time of rest from the hard work of writing fiction.
