If someone's dumb enough to offer me a million dollars to make a picture, I'm certainly not dumb enough to turn it down.

Follow your passions, follow your heart, and the things you need will come.

Acting is, to me now, artificial. Seeing people suffer is real. It couldn't be more real. Some people don't like to look at it in the face because it's painful. But if nobody does, then nothing gets done.

It is bad enough that people are dying of AIDS, but no one should die of ignorance.

On Michael Jackson and child stardom: He had one of the worst childhoods ever. I think I had the second.

I've always preferred animals to little girls or boys. I had my first horse - actually it was a Newfoundland pony - when I was three, and I loved riding, without anyone shackling me - riding bareback as fast as I could.

I'm not worried about dying. I consult with God, my maker. And I don't have a lot of problems to work out. I'm pretty squared anyway.
