I'm the sort of person with a very short attention span, and I lose interest in things very quickly.
Since I was 20, I wanted to make a short film and send it to international short film festivals. It never happened. I became too big a star to indulge in those things.
I can't do fiction unless I visualize what's going on. When I began to write science fiction, one of the things I found lacking in it was visual specificity. It seemed there was a lot of lazy imagining, a lot of shorthand.
Things that happen in Wyoming are things that wouldn't happen in a big city - we've got bears, we've got a lot of shotguns - in Absaroka County, everybody's got a shotgun in the back of their car!
When push comes to shove, we all should know most Americans want the same things, but just disagree on how to get there, which is why it should be okay to not panic if the other party wins.
As a kid, I would listen to anything that had a live orchestra or ensemble playing, so that covered everything from show tunes to eclectic jazz things to film soundtracks to classical music. They're all inspiring to me.
I sang opera, I sang show tunes. I got into a rock band for a while. I've sung a lot of different things.
I do not buy CDs any more; I usually stream Internet radio. For movies, I hardly every buy any DVDS. I have a DVR, so just record things off HBO, Showtime and so on.
It's good to be progressive, but don't shun the good things about tradition.
I've always had these morals I've sort of put on myself: that excess is bad. I used to be into Buddhism and stuff. I was vegetarian. I was all about shutting things out.
I've got Asperger's. I come at things from sideways.
I don't consider myself supremely talented, but I really like to try things and sift through it and see what mess I made.
What a profound significance small things assume when the woman we love conceals them from us.
What the devil does the plot signify, except to bring in fine things?
Tweeting? It's one of the silliest things ever.
Because of the tension and difficulty, I remember trying to do the silliest things when we weren't rolling cameras, anything to lift the spirits. But once on set, it was important to have full concentration.
I learned that people love to be good at things, even the silliest things.
If people never did silly things nothing intelligent would ever get done.
You do silly things for love sometimes and not-so-smart things for love.
When you're young, you're stupid. You do silly things.
