Quote

I want to live and feel all the shades, tones, and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.

I feel like my life is pretty much on display. So much of it is working, and that's really all I want to do. I'm an open book.

That powers my desire to write: the sense of how quickly everything on the surface of life can be cut away and you can suddenly be inside the most inner part of the most inner life of a person. What does it feel like there, and what are the regrets and sensations and longings, and what is the music of it?

I want to walk through life instead of being dragged through it.

I want to live every moment totally and intensely. Even when I'm giving an interview or talking to people, that's all that I'm thinking about.

I want to try to keep my life the same.

I want every day to be life for the living, not just traipsing through it existing. I'm just interested in life and the world and exploring.

Make space in your life for the things that matter, for family and friends, love and generosity, fun and joy. Without this, you will burn out in mid-career and wonder where your life went.

Through acting and film, I felt that my life had a sense to it. I felt I had a mission.

I'm content with life, and I'm finally at that place where I feel relaxed and can really enjoy what's going on around me.
