we are all made of stars

You learn along the way that some people are going to be very generous, and other people… It’s just not innate within them. Sometimes I think you just have to decide if you’re going to stand up and get on with it or if you’re going to be crushed and threatened.

Walking around [Park City] is amazing, but I realized yesterday I was walking, sort of, in a middle of a road that I thought was a trail. So… sort of, imminent death was on the horizon.

I was about 14 when I started with a theater group; it was like a stage group on the weekends alongside school. And it was run by a group of guys who’d been to drama school themselves in London. So they introduced us to techniques that they’d learn about, and they kind of informed us about improvisation and screenwriting and all of that stuff.

I don’t think anything’s ever simple. Everyone’s just trying to understand each other, and whether that’s because you’re in a relationship or because you’re meeting their friends or because their meeting your brother or whatever it is, nothing like that is ever smooth running.

It’s funny that people gasp at naked bodies, but not at guns.

You collect people to take with you. Some people change, other people don’t…it’s wonderful because I’ve met some incredible friends.

"I was about 14 when I started with a theater group, it was like a stage group on the weekends alongside school. And it was run by a group of guys who’d been to drama school themselves in London. So they introduced us to techniques that they’d learn about and they kind of informed us about improvisation and screenwriting and all of that stuff. So it was really there that I started to really love it and enjoy it.”
