Good Quotes

Clavain saw it all with sudden, heart-stopping clarity: all that mattered was the here and now. All that mattered was survival.

I wouldn't do my roles if I really hated it. I've done things I hated, but I didn't go into them thinking I would hate them. I want to have fun. I don't want to go to work and not enjoy it. So if I'm swirling around on some wires, talking to Fred Flintstone, I make it the funnest I can. I also want to be good at it. I don't want to be a crap cartoon character. I want to be proud I'm a vitamin!

But I definitely wanted to be an actor.
