People want stardom or fame or whatever - instant gratification as opposed to learning one's craft, which, when I was starting out, was the most important thing: that you are as fully equipped for your job or your art as possible.

You see people in different situations behaving in very different ways. That can only benefit you as an actor.

If you don't travel the world and see as much of it as you can - see different characters in different situations - then how are you going to learn? I figured the best way to do that was to explore as much as I could.

As an actor, it's so, so rewarding and so pleasing to not be reprimanded.

Every now and then I'll do little things, a short story or something, that doesn't have any fantastical elements, but mostly I like the power of playing God and I like to imagine things.

Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see; it is above, not against them.

The reader becomes God, for all textual purposes. I see your eyes glazing over, so I'll hush.

I want to inspire people to change the world. That's something that I feel that I'm meant to do here... really going to change the world. I asked God to make me immortal so I can do it.
