I try to leave things as open ended as possible, not too overladen with meaning.
In television, you can leave so many things open-ended. For everything you wrap up, you can open another one or two.
I feel it's easier to sit in the backseat and go, "Oh, yeah, let's go there." You're not worried about getting to the destination. But the guy or the woman who has to get you to the destination is worried about a lot of other things, so my job as an actor is to try as many things as possible, be as open as possible, listen, and keep my heart open.
I try to find meaning or value in most things and be as diverse as possible.
I'm instinctively very suspicious and guarded, and I try to counteract it so much. I find reason allows you to be open, and my only sort of ambition in life is to try and be as open as possible.
'Homeland' is necessarily open-ended since the idea behind television is to spend as much time as possible resolving as little as possible, with a story's usual need for resolution replaced by an unrelenting urgency that always defers answers and constantly postpones closure.
A lot of the songs on '2' are pretty personal, but even if I'm writing about something like that, I still tend to keep it pretty simple and open-ended. I like the idea of people listening to my album and it meaning something to me but maybe meaning something else to them.
My mantra is, 'Dare to be...' I leave it open-ended, because depending on the mood, the weather, the day, you might need a different power word. Having a power word can help steer you in the right direction, especially when things aren't going your way.
Find the open guy. If you're open shoot the ball. Just try to make it as easy as possible.
I like to leave a film open-ended, with a lingering feeling. I'll not do sequels of any of my films till I have subjects to explore.
I just try to keep my heart open. By this, I mean to try not to let my own programmed reaction to things keep me closed down for too long.
A story is open-ended. A story invites you into it to make your own meaning.
I keep interested and I keep my eyes wide open...I try to read as much as possible...try to go to places that are off the beaten path...and I love to listen in on other peoples conversations...all the things that are floating around out there and I regurgitate it with my perspective...lyrically and musically.
I believe everything is possible. You have to try things, put your heart into it, try to do the best you can and see what is possible.
Don't be afraid to be confused. Try to remain permanently confused. Anything is possible. Stay open, forever, so open it hurts, and then open up some more, until the day you die, world without end, amen.
Professionally and personally, I try to be as agnostic as possible, try to see things as objectively as possible.
I try to make a point in my life to leave the cell phone in the car sometimes, to try to unplug as much as possible.
