He was so. So dirty, and just moving in front of me, and cute. I was in love with him, especially because he was talking to me.

Image
School allowed me to have outlets so that some of the pressure was taken off the acting. Every role in every movie, I used to live or die by. Once I had these new outlets, I relaxed a lot more.

I loved the book [The Adderall Diaries] I optioned it, I think some years ago. But there's a lot of different threads in the book.

There's art on the show that's really bad - these cliché Abstract Expressionist gestural things. It's almost like extensions of my performance, because in the scene I'm really mad.

I am actually turned off when I look at an account and don’t see any selfies, because I want to know whom I’m dealing with. In our age of social networking, the selfie is the new way to look someone right in the eye and say, 'Hello, this is me.'

It feels really sad, to me, to go to a dark bedroom. It's like surrendering to the night or something.

We all age. You shouldn't discount it as a subject for a film. Just because the characters are dealing with issues that you might not deal with for another 45 years doesn't mean you won't like it.
