I love how people in this business push themselves to know themselves, the world, and their creativity better.

Every day is intense and alive, whether it's travel, work, even down time, which there is so little of.

When I was on that boat, I realized the only way I would feel creatively challenged was if I totally changed everything about my environment and put myself in a storm, in a sense.

I visited those friends who'd just had a baby, and she was washing dishes and he was cleaning the house, and I burst with happiness. And in their minds, they were in this terrible domestic rut

I'm challenged by people like Russell Crowe and Sean Penn who come in with such incredible discipline and power.

There's such good people out there where there filmmaking world is alive.

The Hulk, that was the experience of my life, so far.
