Somewhere in talking and rehearsing, there is a magical moment where actors catch a current, they’re on the right road. If they really catch it, then whatever they do from then on is correct and it all comes out of them from that point on.

I like cappuccino, actually. But even a bad cup of coffee is better than no coffee at all.

The concept of absurdity is something I’m attracted to.

My cow is not pretty, but it is pretty to me.

Absurdity is what I like most in life, and there’s humor in struggling in ignorance. If you saw a man repeatedly running into a wall until he was a bloody pulp, after a while it would make you laugh because it becomes absurd.
