My mom would always say this thing about writing - and I've taken it into account in a lot of things in my life - which is just, Make it shorter. Figure out what you are truly saying, whittle it down to the essence, then say that.

I think that the idea of boundaries is being challenged everywhere. And I think our fascination with sci-fi is that it is a boundary-less world where we can kind of create the reality that we believe to be as opposed to the reality that is. It is about the beyond and the unknown in a different way than pretty much any type of storytelling is.

You know, it's flattering when there's a rumor that says I'm bisexual. It means I can play more kinds of roles. I'm open to whatever people want to call me. I've never really been attracted to men sexually, but I don't think I would be afraid of it if it happened.

Hardest emotion? They're all pretty damn hard I don't know really if there's one specifically, but I do think, I don't know what's happening or what I'm feeling when I'm actually listening.

I like the conscious manipulation that a great director can have. When you're both complicit in the manipulation of an emotion.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Image
I don't think I've made a mistake. I think I have behaved in ways that I am proud of I think I've behaved in ways I'm not.

Don't listen to what anybody says except the people who encourage you. If it's what you want to do and it's within yourself, then keep going and try to do it for the rest of your life.

I think my family love each other so much and expect so much from each other, and I think we expect a type of honesty in the work that we all do.
