“Our parents all experimented with raising us in a fairly loose, unorth...” — Gaby Hoffmann Quote

Our parents all experimented with raising us in a fairly loose, unorthodox way. A huge emphasis was placed on creativity, and our artistic efforts were never dismissed as childish. There was a sense that we - kids and grown-ups - all had the potential to make something of value. Our drawings were not simply destined for the refrigerator.

It was sort of a solution to financial problems when I was a little kid. I just kept doing it because it's fun to be on movie sets.

I grew up with artists and drag queens. These were just my neighbors and friends and the people who are raising me.

The early part of my career was the 1990s, and I was living in New York working as an actor. It was the world I was in. A lot of companies had a great deal of money.

Figure skating is theatrical. It's artistic. It's elegant. It's extremely athletic. And there's a very specific audience for that.

I get bored doing one thing only. I've been very lucky to explore a lot of different artistic territory and I don't see why I won't continue on that path.

Name the book that made the biggest impression on you. I bet you read it before you hit puberty. In the time I've got left, I intend to write artistic books - for kids - because they're still open to new ideas.

I always shout out my dad. My artistic roots come from him. He had his own T-shirt company and taught me the trade.
