believe race suffering
Life is suffering. Life is not resistance to suffering. The point of life is to suffer. This is why we're here: We're here to suffer. I believe in a higher power that compassionately allows suffering for us as a race, to grow and mature.
people hollywood not-sure
You meet people in Hollywood that are famous, and you're not sure what they got famous for.
creativity thinking expression
I think meditation helps greatly with creativity. If it's a pure expression of yourself no matter what it is or what medium, it's going to shine. It's going to resonate.
life fall heart
I can relate to someone whose life is falling apart, and they are doing the best to get by, using humor to survive, backstrom really wears his heart on his sleeve and his life is unraveling... I would much rather hang out with that person than a slick procedural detective who has all the answers... it's human, it's frail, it's interesting.
glasses work-out guy
There's like ten minutes when it's like, 'Okay, wait, who is this guy again?' And then, you know, I just put on the calculator watch and the glasses, and just be all, you know, inappropriate. And then it just works out fine.
stars baha bigs
I'm about as big a star as the Baha'i faith has got, which is pretty pathetic.
expression shining creative
If it’s a pure expression of yourself no matter what it is or what medium, it’s going to shine. It’s going to resonate. You could look inside of yourself and you could have a canvas and you could paint a dot in it, but if that is where your creative purpose is taking you then it needs to be that dot.
swans dresses saws
I've actually rented Bjork's swan dress. I know that's kind of recycling, but I saw An Inconvenient Truth.
team school band
There was one point in high school actually when I was on the chess team, marching band, model United Nations and debate club all at the same time. And I would spend time with the computer club after school. And I had just quit pottery club, which I was in junior high, but I let that go.
puppets looks clown
I know what I look like - a weird, sad clown puppet. I'm fine with that.
block believe journey
I think creative blocks come from people's life journeys. If you don't know who you are or what you're about or what you believe in it's really pretty impossible to be creative.
thinking people creeps
I think definitely people know me from playing creeps and weirdos, and I'm definitely looking to expand my range.
character play balls
I found it very easy to transform into creeps and weirdos and losers and goof-balls, and I'm happy to play eccentric kinds of characters, and I have a great affinity for the outsider, but I definitely am about expanding my range as well.
gun
I am all for controlling guns.
