I was the punk outsider who nobody messed with. I was fearless. At 16, I graduated and moved out.

When someone loves you, and when you make someone happy, you suddenly start to feel the most beautiful person in the world.

I'm shy to call myself a director still. When someone says, 'What do you do for a living?' I don't know if I've earned that.

By remembering that I don't know sadness or pain like the people do in the camp and to be sad will not help them.

I think that we come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. Raise kids. Have a good life. Be a good friend. And try to be completely who you are.

I have so much in my life. I want to be of value to the world.

I felt I should have been taught about the landmine problem. It made me suddenly realize certain things about the world and how much I had to learn, like the history of the people.
