I had to live on $17,000 a year until I was 33, because I was a failed artist until I was 29, when I made my first short film that went to Sundance.

Now that I'm acting, I've realized that I don't have a lot of barriers. Certain actors have a hard time with anger or with joy or with whatever, and, I don't know, I don't seem to have those barriers.

Ultralight backpackers do some stupid stuff, like instead of bringing a toothbrush, you saw one off right below the bristles and just carry the head.

I do own a unicycle, which I use for workout purposes as opposed to doing tricks.

I grew up Catholic, and I am a pretty shy person.

My whole life, I've been the one in my family that's always too emotional and too sensitive. That's, like, my role in my family.

It is very common for people to come up to the cast members and say, 'Our family is OK now because of 'Transparent.''

Everyone I know who is having success in film right now is there because of persistence.

The first 600 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail, before you get into the Sierra Nevada mountain range, is heavy on desert. One of the things I carry with me in the desert is an umbrella. People think that's insane. It has a shiny top to it, so it looks totally ridiculous, but the difference can be 20 degrees.

I'm obsessed with 'The Americans.' It's one of my favorite shows. I also love 'Baskets' - low-brow, high-art comedy.
