Americans love labels. They help them know what to expect. Sometimes, though, I think labels stop them from thinking.


“no one ever grows poor from giving. That sharing what you have does not make what you have worth any less.”
― Other Words for Home
― Other Words for Home

“I am me. And that should be enough, it always has been enough. I was the one who didn’t get that. And now I do. I’m an actor, I’m a writer. I’m a person. And a good one at that. I want good things for myself, and others, and I can continue to work for these things. There is a reason I’m still here. And figuring out why is the task that has been put in front of me. And it will be revealed. There is no rush, no desperation. Just the fact that I am here, and I care about people, is the answer. Now when I wake up, I wake up curious, wondering what the world has in store for me, and I for it. And that’s enough to go on.”

“No secret gets worse just because it has been told.”
― Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing

“The one thing I got right was that I never gave up, I never raised my hands and said, “That’s enough, I can’t take it anymore, you win.” And because of that, I stand tall now, ready for whatever comes next. Someday you, too, might be called upon to do something important, so be ready for it. And when whatever happens, just think, What would Batman do? and do that.”

“In our imperfect world, if conditions are such that those who have the least are taken care of, we will all be closer to freedom and justice.”
