I don't like to be walking around in a vacuum, lost in my own thoughts. I'm much better with information.

The movies I've made at a certain time of my life were exactly right for the stage of my life, the frame of mind I was in at the time. Each character I've had to play has been me in that time in my life.

I just killed my best friend... and my worst enemy. What's the difference?

I want to do films I can relate to emotionally.

I can promote until I am blue in the face, but ultimately nobody knows what makes a hit.

After I did Untamed Heart I wanted to do a film that was outrageous. I really wanted to do, you know, a performance. I don't want to allow my image to rule the choices that I make.

It's the obvious thing to say but artists want to be able to tell all kinds of stories and tear down every kind of wall, to look at ourselves and examine who we are and just get deeper insights into what makes us human beings. Anything that could possibly prevent that in our near future horrifies me to no end.
