I've realized that being happy is a choice.

I don't see the point of doing an interview unless you're going to share the things you learn in life and the mistakes you make. So to admit that I'm extremely human and have done some dark things I don't think makes me unusual or unusually dark. I think it actually is the right thing to do, and I'd like to think it's the nice thing to do.

I try not to think about my public life. I focus on my private life, and that's just the best way to live.

Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, without it, there is no way of life.

The great thing about having a bunch of kids is that they just remind you that you're the person who takes them to go poop. That's who you are!

War is so complex; human nature is so complex. There's no filmmaker who has ever figured it out perfectly.

If you become aware of a public self, you're in danger of becoming a very artificial person.
