I learned with 'Birdman' that it's liberating when you just lose yourself and go after something that terrifies you.

A really big thing I've learned - and I think it's so liberating - is when you realize no one knows what they're doing.

I have a severe addiction to 'Angry Birds.' I always tell myself, 'One more game...' But then there's always another and another and another.

Someone once pulled me aside and said it was all right to succeed, and I realised that I knew what failure felt like, but I didn't know what success felt like. I've carried that with me ever since.

'Birdman' came from a very beautiful side of me, from a part of honesty and surrender about things.

What keeps me going is a constant sense of disappointment with what I've already done.

It's been one of the most painful things I've ever been through in my whole life: trying to understand the degree to which behaviors that I thought were totally appropriate were destructive.

In my life, I have made the occasional catastrophic choice, and it's just a case of moving on and learning from it.

I have definitely gone through my ups and downs and faced my adversity and my nay-sayers, but managed to do all right. It is a pretty classic tale.

I've always gone after fears and tried to stifle them by doing them. It is daunting, but it's more rewarding.
