Stories Quotes
-
I guess I've always wanted to create my own stories, but writing was one of those things where I thought that I would never actually do it.

I'm like, "No, I'm an actor who writes sometimes."

It's like creating an artificial loop saying, 'You didn't play the game the way I wanted you to play, so now you're punished and you're going to come back and play it again until you do what I want you to do.'
