Acting Is A Weird, Kind Of Alienating

Poor People Are Gross And They 'smell Bad

I Think The Most Important Thing For An Actor Is Reading The Script And Trying To Figure Out If You Can Play That Character Well. The Last Thing On My Mind Is If The Director Made Good Movies Previously. It's Not My Job To Know If That Director's Last Movie Was Any Good - It's My Job To Know If I Can Play The Role.

I Had Great Difficulty In School Interacting With Others, And I Took Refuge In The Contrived Setting Of Play Acting, Which Is What I Still Do.

I Write Plays Instinctively. I Don't Like Writing Movie Scripts.

I Made The Mistake Of Writing Something Very, Very Short About Obama For This Website That I Write Fiction For And My Father Told Me Never Do That Again. And He Was Right. I Have Nothing To Add To A Political Conversation Because It’s Not My Area.
