Sometimes, people who are very fastidious about what they're going to do in their work are not very fastidious in their private life. I'm like that. I love it when people do really nice things around me, but I don't have time to do it for myself. It's very hard for me to even buy a new pair of trousers.

I like to keep some things to myself, because its called a private life, not public.

I like to make money; I like to have nice things. But I love to act; I love to tell stories.

So much of artistic creation is just exclusion. It's not creating things; it's just excluding things that really aren't going to be helpful.

Striped shirts and printed shorts, jeans, and trousers are all items I buy and wear a lot in my private life.

If you're sort of interested in politics but sort of upset about contemporary politics, it's kind of wonderful to read about periods who were very eloquent and admirable - generally. People are articulating ideas you can sympathize with or understand both sides of. Or at least feel like one side is saying the right things.
