Here it comes," she said with an expression of pure bliss. "drug rush ... any moment now ... the surge of warmth ... bye-bye, mr. pain..." "vee-" "knock, knock." "this is really important-" "knock, knock." "it's about elliot-" "knock, knoooock," she said in a singsong voice. i sighed. "who's there?" "boo." "boo who?" "boo-hoo, somebody's crying, and it's not me!" she broke into hysterical laughter.

I like to wear a "do not disturb" sign around my neck so that little kids can't tell me knock-knock jokes. "hey, how ya doin'? knock-knock." "read the sign, punk!"

Knock! knock! who's there? me! me who? that's right? what's right? meehoo! that's what i want to know! what's what you want to know? me who? yes, exactly! exactly what? yes, i have exactlywatt on a chain! exactly what on a chain? yes! yes what? no, exactlywatt! that's what i want to know! i told you-exactlywatt! exactly what? yes! yes what? yes it's with me. what's with you? exactlywatt-that's what with me. me who? yes! go away! knock knock...

I hadn't worked for a year when i had my prison break audition and it was the easiest audition i've ever had. i got the script on friday, went to the audition on monday and got the part on tuesday. i was shooting the pilot a week later. i didn't have time to be nervous - it happened so quickly.

Think of two people, living together day after day, year after year, in this small space, standing elbow to elbow cooking at the same small stove, squeezing past each other on the narrow stairs, shaving in front of the same small bathroom mirror, constantly jogging, jostling, bumping against each other’s bodies by mistake or on purpose, sensually, aggressively, awkwardly, impatiently, in rage or in love – think what deep though invisible tracks they must leave, everywhere, behind them!

Treat your career like a bad boyfriend... your career wont take care of you. it won't call you back or introduce you to its parents. your career will openly flirt with other people while you are around... you have to care about your work, but not about the result. you have to care about how good you are and how good you feel, but not about how good people think you are or how good people think you look.

I think up to this point, it's been difficult to suggest a world where batman and superman and wonder woman and others could exist in the same universe. that was one of the things i really wanted to try and get at. not to mention, the amazing opportunity to bring those characters and have those characters tell an important story, their own story, within the confines of a film.

How gloomy would be the mansions of the dead to him who did not know that he should never die: that what now acts shall continue its agency, and what now thinks shall think on forever!

It's a strange thing to think of a man as can lift a chair with his teeth, and walk fifty mile on end, trembling and turning hot and cold at only a look from one woman out of all the rest i' the world. it's a mystery we can give no account of.

I think i'm more bonded, emotionally and in a craft sense, to films that tell extraordinary stories about extraordinary destinies.
