I work with the dead, but I am working for the living.

Even if I don't have a job, I work on plays and scenes.

When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance.

I don't conduct my career for when I'm dead and people say nice things about me. I conduct my career for the here and now, and what excites me, and what interests me.

If you play dead often enough, you've got a great will to live.

There is more to life than a job. I didn't ever want to look back and point to a bookshelf of videotapes and say, 'That's been my life.' It's so much easier to write a resume than it is to craft a spirit.

Resume: a written exaggeration of only the good things a person has done in the past, as well as a wish list of the qualities a person would like to have.

I do some of my best work when I'm dead.

To get a script like 'Death Proof' and to get cast in it just affirmed that I want to do character work; that's where my heart is. Maybe I will get to it again, maybe I won't, but it's what I like to do is play something a little outside of myself. This solidified the desire certainly for me.

I don't play video games because I know that if I ever started, I'd never be able to maintain a career again.
