I Am A Blank Slate - Therefore

I'll Go Do Films For Three Or Four Months And Then I Can't Wait To Go Home To La. And I Complain About La Left And Right, But Then I Always End Up Wanting To Go Home, You Know?

It Definitely Deserved An Oscar, But Not A Golden Globe.

I Had No Expectation About Getting A Nomination, But I Was Watching Nonetheless. My Wife And My Son Got Really Excited. I Was Sort Of Surprised — I Was Like, 'oh, Wow.' And I Couldn't Hear The Latter Part Of My Name.

I Felt Like I Was An Outsider. I Think What Happened To Me Made Me Develop This Street Sense Of Watching People And Working Out What Made Them Tick, Wondering Whether I Could Trust Them Or Not. I Went To A Lot Of Schools Along The Coast In California, Made Few Friends And Stayed With Aunts, Uncles And Grandparents While My Folks Tried To Make Ends Meet. It Was Tough. We Had No Money.

All The People Throughout My Life Who Were Naysayers Pissed Me Off. But They've All Given Me A Fervor; An Angry Ambition That Cannot Be Stopped - And I Look Forward To Finding A Therapist And Working On That.
