I am really driven, but my drive doesn't effect the conversations I have in my head about life, and my worries and fears and insecurities.

I have a great relationship with my parents. I have not been on lithium.

Maybe that's all that family really is, a group of people who all miss the same imaginary place.

I'm kind of jealous of the life I'm supposedly leading.

I think the saddest moments in life have humor in them. I have a memory of coming home from a funeral with my family in the back of a limousine and someone cracking a joke and us just hysterically belly laughing. It's how we always dealt with tragedy in our lives and I think it's such a healthy way to deal with sadness.

I think I felt compelled in a way because if I hadn't written the part, I never would have been offered the part. There are at least 10 guys who would have been offered the part before me.

Gay men in L.A. are all a bunch of tens looking for an eleven.

I always liked the story of Noah's Ark and the idea of starting anew by rescuing the things you like and leaving the rest behind.

I remember seeing her in "Beautiful Girls" and "The Professional" and being like, This girl is genius! This girl is ahead of her time. This girl is a prodigy.

The way I write is that I'll actually have a conversation out loud with myself. In a weird way, I just kind of get schizophrenic and play two characters.

It's hard for me not to be extraordinarily cute, ... I had to fight it.
