Life has never been easy. Nor is it meant to be. It is a matter of being joyous in the face of sorrow.
There is a divine moment in our lives when we all become one. It's called procreation, and it is reborn, continually and forever.
Life: my favorite occupation.
If we wait until our lives are free from sorrow or difficulty, then we wait forever. And miss the entire point.
Time is money, as they say, and it was never more apropos than on a television show, where a minute is worth about $200!
I'm the worst person to ask about how to get noticed. It took me 25 years.
Be very clear as to what your dream is. Nowadays it is fairly certain that 90 percent of all actors really just want to be rich and famous as the solution to all that ails.
I am very willing to share whatever I know or feel I know about finding some serenity in this lifetime.
The only difference from one $100 million budget film to another is which of the 12 box stars are getting $20 million to be in it.
My favorite thing is to be alone in a room with a blank paper in front of me and the time to fill it.
To me, all writing is like music. And especially dialogue. I studied music in college; that is what I wanted to be, a composer. Acting got me sidetracked.
Hollywood... a city I was to come back to time and again, in sickness and in health, in success and in failure, with anticipation and with dread.
We are all vegetarians here, and except for a mountain lion that's been hanging around and killed our dog, we don't have a care in the world.
Children... are our legacy. Our responsibility. They are our destiny and we are theirs. The extent to which we fail as parents, we fail as God's children.
It is all about marketing; that is where the real craft comes in. The best actors do not necessarily become the biggest stars. And vice versa.
In many ways I wish I wasn't an actor dragging around the baggage from being one so that I could just devote my energies to encouraging people to find their true selves.
I write from my imagination, not from what I've read in books or seen on TV or to make money. I wrote from an idea I was passionate about.
I am very abnormal... But it wasn't very long ago that I wasn't so abnormal. I was very normal and headed for a lifetime of paying medical bills as proof of my normalcy.
Movies are movies, television is television.
The space genre is timeless.
