I do enjoy reading some science fiction.

The original WAS a fun film. [Paul] Verhoeven made a couple of 'Robocops' that were so great, too. I think the level of excitement is great and Arnie [Schwarzenegger] was particularly charismatic with that chopped up English, and the size of the man with his confidence and sense of humor.

I've done far too many things that I felt were going to be genius that weren't and I've done some things that I didn't think were going to be much that really connected with people. So expectations are left at the door. But hope exists all the time.

Every week a tsunami rips through poor towns and villages all over the world ... That tsunami is hunger.

I'm not going to experience the reality of hardship that sometimes my characters live in. I'm very cautious about that.

There was a part of me that felt afraid of people in Hollywood going: '**** Hollywood with their total lack of originality!'.

Seven years sober. I'm really grateful. It's really lovely to be present in my life.
