The first dog I had was owned by an abusive couple. He was very skittish. He wouldn't let me hold him. It was explained to me that it was because of how he was treated.

I live in New York full time. I can't live in L.A., because I fear people think I'm a vagrant there.

I get offered a lot of the same type of thing... The teenage slasher movies.

What is acceptable in our culture, I think, is really detrimental. I think we ought to have a little more ownership over the kind of material and the content that we put in front of people, especially young people.

I think that the movies I do are the ones that I really like the least. I don't like watching them because of that problem.

Great books don't make great movies. There's too much information in there.

I have friends who remember seeing fish hauled onto a boat's deck and beaten to death.
