Making checklists of things you're looking for in a person is the numero uno thing you can do to guarantee you'll be alone forever.
Our culture has a tendency to pigeonhole people and to try to tear down anybody who's breaking out of our comfort zone. That's why we get into these cultural ruts that end up being destructive prejudices. But breaking out of that comfort zone is the most rewarding thing you can do, in your life. I do my best to push myself, when I can.
I just love to act. It's my favorite thing to do in the world, and what keeps it interesting, to me, is the creative challenge. So, different kinds of characters, that's what I just love to do.
But I would encourage anyone who has a crush on my character to watch it again and examine how selfish he is.
I do call myself a feminist. Absolutely!
I was studying for the SAT's and learning lines.
I don't blame folks for not wanting to put me in their movies or whatever. I understand if their audiences had an association with me.
There's an absolute prejudice that good movies are dramas and comedies are more dismissable. But I couldn't disagree more.
I was just watching baby videos of me and I was obviously an exhibitionist.
I'd been an actor my whole life, since I was a kid. And then, I quit for awhile and went to university. When I wanted to start acting again, I couldn't get a job, and that was really depressing. So, I realized, at that time, that I have to take responsibility for my own creativity.
I like making little videos and little records. I've always loved video cameras and four-track cassette recorders, still cameras, anything.
I mean, movies in general tend to sort of portray time, space and identity as these very solid things. Time moves forward. Space is what it is. You are you, and you're always you.
The media's about to become a lot more effective.
