An actor's career doesn't feel like just one career to me. It feels like about five or six. Because every six or seven years, you look in the mirror and you have a completely different product.

I saw 'The Shining' really young. I don't think it scarred me, but I had a paper route, and I delivered to some apartment buildings, and it made it a little scary to walk down those hallways.

It can be liberating to get fired because you realize the world doesn't end. There's other ways to make money, better jobs.

If you're a real scientist, you're constantly open to new data. Nothing is ever 100% validated.

Carl Barks was born in Merrill, Oregon, in 1901, grew up in a farming family, and eventually held a number of blue-collar jobs. He knew what it was to be poor and to work hard for a living.

My sense of injustice about our family's 'weirdness' in not owning a car was amplified by the fact that we did not own a television, either - my parents were unapologetic about this and told me very cheerfully that I would thank them for it when I was older, which was quite true.

I am constantly hustling and finding new things. You try to manage so you don't look back and see huge gaps of time that you missed with your family.

Nature is a machine. The family is a machine. The life cycle is like a machine.
