I see flaws as a kind of beauty.

I know my flaws before other people point them out to me.

When I watch myself on-screen, I always look for the flaws.

Usually when I see myself in a film or on television, there's about a six-month period where I can't look at it because all I'll see are the mistakes. I'm just appalled by the person that I see.

I see bad stuff on the street all the time that I don't do anything about. I do bad stuff myself all the time. The goal is not to somehow be perfect - that's silly, that's naive. The goal is to just recognize there are choices in front of us, and to try to make better ones.

It's pretty simple, pretty obvious: that people's first impressions of people are really a big mistake.

I see that people now recognize me in the street. But it doesn't change me in the depth of my being.

The second we see somebody on the street or meet someone, we make snap judgments about them, about who they are and why we wouldn't necessarily sit with them or why we would or what's cool or not cool.

Sometimes we can't see our own selves, our own shortcomings, but it's so easy to see somebody else's.

Whenever I dwell for any length of time on my own shortcomings, they gradually begin to seem mild, harmless, rather engaging little things, not at all like the staring defects in other people's characters.
