heart thinking hands
I think it needs to be with a heart-based wisdom and this heart-based wisdom needs to go hand in hand with science and with social activism and love for our planet and love for our whole human family that spans the whole globe and this may sound very high and mighty or airy-fairy, but it's going to have to go to that or else we're just all going to destroy each other.
swans dresses saws
I've actually rented Bjork's swan dress. I know that's kind of recycling, but I saw An Inconvenient Truth.

Scotland is the Canada of England!
dream jobs dad
My dad was always such a frustrated artist. He always worked very hard to support his family, doing a bunch of ridiculous jobs. He wanted to be a painter, but then he also wrote science-fiction novels in his spare time. He was always so frustrated having to work to support the family that I was like, I'm never going to do that. I don't want to just be working a menial job to support my family and dreaming of being an artist. We learn from our fathers in that way.
expression shining creative
If it’s a pure expression of yourself no matter what it is or what medium, it’s going to shine. It’s going to resonate. You could look inside of yourself and you could have a canvas and you could paint a dot in it, but if that is where your creative purpose is taking you then it needs to be that dot.

I think definitely people know me from playing creeps and weirdos, and I'm definitely looking to expand my range.
character theatre transformation
I started in theatre, and for me, it was all about transformation. You transform into the character that you're playing.
giving laughing people
I like being a Baha'i who has an out-there sense of humor. God gives us talents and faculties, and making people laugh is one of mine.
jobs boys years
A guy may wear a suit and have a high-paying job and appear very mature, but essentially, he's a 14-year-old boy.
growing-up drama guy
I was this weird misfit guy from suburban Seattle, I never really fit in, and then I became a drama geek, among all the other different kinds of geek that I was growing up, and I found I was pretty good at it.
puppets looks clown
I know what I look like - a weird, sad clown puppet. I'm fine with that.
comedy loser
I would love to see some comedies about loser women.
block believe journey
I think creative blocks come from people's life journeys. If you don't know who you are or what you're about or what you believe in it's really pretty impossible to be creative.
teenager islands long
We've seen that there are a lot of people out there - teenagers in Topeka, housewives in Long Island, millionaire Internet start-up moguls - that all want to connect with each other about what it is to be human.
