"I have pretty thick skin, and I think if you're going to be in this business, if you're going to be an actor or a writer, you better have a thick skin."
Business
"To each other, we were as normal and nice as the smell of bread. We were just a family. In a family even exaggerations make perfect sense."

Life
"No adult in my family would ever tell me anything about who my father was. I knew from an older cousin - only four years older than I am - everything, or what little I could discover about him."
Family

Reading
"Sometimes that's a year, sometimes it's 18 months, where all I'm doing is taking notes. I'm reconstructing the story from the back to the front so that I know where the front is."
Writing

Being

Age
"There's no reason you shouldn't, as a writer, not be aware of the necessity to revise yourself constantly."
