You can't carve up the world. It's not a pie.
An island is a fixed and finite piece of geography, and usually the whole place has been carved up and claimed.
Directing was a great experience, but it's terrifying to have the responsibility of carving up the other actors' performances.

I've always sung. I was really into musical theater when I was growing up. As a kid, I listened to Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone, actually, on cassette tapes.
When I played in the sandbox, the cat kept covering me up.
Well, the stuff that I liked growing up was AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, but I also liked the Beatles and guys like Cat Stevens and Elton John.

We shall see that at which dogs howl in the dark, and that at which cats prick up their ears after midnight.
I think, growing up, the female friendships that I saw on television were portrayed as catty and vicious.
I grew up in a predominantly Caucasian neighborhood, but my mom is Filipino-Spanish and my dad is Irish.
You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one.
