When you look into someone's eyes, it may be like your connection to self. Two intuitive people, at the right moment, at the right time, could know they're in love at that moment.

I don't have a lot of time to surf the net and see what everyone's wearing.

I feel that film, as opposed to theatre, is about capturing that one, real moment.

I'm a closeted nerd. I studied Richard Dawkins. I watched every lecture. He's sort of the leading scientific atheist of our time. He's very provocative. His whole thing is science over spirituality.

I don't really have hobbies. I paint. I write. I direct videos. I take photos. I'm a creative person. A normal day for me is doing all of those things. Sometimes I stay up until 5 A.M. writing a song because I make music. It's the same with writing.

You develop a voice and a process that's unique to yourself.

If I cared what people think about my career, I would have not done - just look at my work. Don't look at me; look at what I've done.

Acting is really scary, but it's also challenging, fun, hard work. There's always an element of improvisation with every actor, even when something is really scripted.

I don't choose characters with the intention of working something out in my personal life.

I do feel like I'm spiritual, without getting too personal.
