Stories are the only thing that I can be bothered with. Its the only way that I can do anything, even if Im quite useless. Its the only area in being human where I could be a little useful.

I would never want to do something just for the sake of being independent or for the sake of doing big films. I'm always surprised by the material I'm attracted to. And that's how I like it. I like to be surprised.

Personally, I like films that make me a little bit uncomfortable because I think you're uncomfortable when something is real.

As for the Kristen Stewart comparisons, I just don't think that's fair. I thought she was great in On The Road and Into The Wild. But she's got enough people scrutinising her without me adding my take.

I've spent half my life on planes.

I can ride horses. And I read a lot. But that's kind of it. I think it's enough.

I think you manifest what you believe, and when you believe that you have no choice you lose choice.
