Pain can only feed on pain. Pain cannot feed on joy. It finds it quite indigestible.
I wasn't into acting when I was a kid. Maybe because I was shy or it didn't occur to me.
I mean, I like nice girls, and I like people who are generous.
When I was in high school, I wasn't a troublemaker. I didn't get in fights. I was a good student and I had a lot of friends.
Well, it's really important to be honest with the person that you're seeing.
Going to the office of some stranger and waiting in a line, in a hallway, with five other guys who look just like you, waiting your turn to go in and embarrass yourself, and then waiting around for feedback, which never comes. I really like that. For a young artist, it seems like the perfect thing to be doing, humiliation, over and over and over and over. Which I'm sure can't be the way that some people look at it, but I thought that was so great. The point of it is if you make your own stuff you don't have to deal with other people's bullshit.
The truth is, I don't really have a type of girl.
Lean into the discomfort of the work.
I used to wish I would be a painter or a violinist, where maybe I wouldn't need to travel as much. Or maybe if I were a writer, I wouldn't need to travel as much. It's the travel that kind of killed me. And the hours. I always pictured if I were a painter you could make your own hours maybe. . . work after the kids were asleep.
I absolutely hate Take That, East 17, the Spice Girls.
I have a tendency to talk extremely fast. . . . I think the fastness comes from the fact that I get very excited about things and I just want to spit them out.
