More From Zachary Quinto

Certainly there are things worth believing. i believe in the brotherhood of man and the uniqueness of the individual. but if you ask me to prove what i believe, i can't. you know them to be true but you could spend a whole lifetime without being able to prove them. the mind can proceed only so far upon what it knows and can prove. there comes a point where the mind takes a leap—call it intuition or what you will—and comes out upon a higher plane of knowledge, but can never prove how it got there. all great discoveries have involved such a leap.

Life to me is the greatest of all games. the danger lies in treating it as a trivial game, a game to be taken lightly, and a game in which the rules don't matter much. the rules matter a great deal. the game has to be played fairly or it is no game at all. and even to win the game is not the chief end. the chief end is to win it honorably and splendidly.
Motivational Integrity Lying
I watched a lot of silent directors who were absolutely great like john ford and fritz lang, tod browning, and also some very modern directors like the coen brothers. the directors take the freedom within their own movies to be melodramatic or funny when they chose to be. they do whatever they want and they don't care about the genre.
Brother Directors Care
Most directors, i discovered, need to be convinced that the screenplay they're going to direct has something to do with them. and this is a tricky thing if you write screenplays where women have parts that are equal to or greater than the male part. and i thought, 'why am i out there looking for directors?'—because you look at a list of directors, it's all boys. it certainly was when i started as a screenwriter. so i thought, 'i'm just gonna become a director and that'll make it easier.'
Writing Boys Directors
It's entirely to do with personality, i think. there are good directors who talk a lot, bad directors who talk a lot, and good directors who don't say much and vice-versa. it just depends on whether people respond to that personality and whether people have a willingness to do something for them.
Thinking People Personality
Even when i ran my bar i followed the same policy. a lot of customers came to the bar. if one in ten enjoyed the place and said he'd come again, that was enough. if one out of ten was a repeat customer, then the business would survive. to put it another way, it didn't matter if nine out of ten didn't like my bar. this realization lifted a weight off my shoulders. still, i had to make sure that the one person who did like the place.

As the first hispanic female governor in history, little girls often come up to me in the grocery store or the mall. they look and point, and when they get the courage, they ask 'are you susana?' and they run up and give me a hug.

The men began to trade tales of atrocities, first stories they had heard, then those they'd witnessed, and finally the things that had happened to themselves. a litany of personal humiliation, outrage, and anger turned sicklelike back to themselves as humor. they laughed then, uproariously, about the speed with which they had run, the pose they had assumed, the ruse they had invented to escape or decrease some threat to their manliness, their humanness. all but empire state, who stood, broom in hand and drop-lipped, with the expression of a very intelligent ten-year-old.

Sometimes constraints actually create success. not being able to swim made me run. and running taught me the discipline i needed as a writer.

Actually, the only memory i have of being a cub scout was trying to get my hat back. that was all i did. run back and forth at my bus stop going "quit it."
