I just like working with smart people.

Sometimes their oppression of emotion and the weird way it comes out is more interesting than painting it in bold primary colors.

No, I'm not a very methodologically pure actor.

I don't think you should sit around and wait for people to give you an opportunity to express yourself or do your work, or whatever. Actors have to be producers and writers have to be producers.

I knew Danny DeVito and he knew me, so he wanted me to try Death to Smoochy. I loved that stuff and had a great time doing it.

If you try to make interesting films, you're going to be disappointed most of the time. I choose just not to look at it that way.

I come from a family of conservation activists, and so I've had a strong connection to nature all my life. My father has been a leader within the movement for over thirty years and has taught most of what I know about environmental conservation. While he would always take me hiking, camping, and rafting, he also taught me that the spiritual value of the outdoors alone is not enough to save nature against economic interests.
