The willingness to keep learning is, I think, the most important thing about trying to be good at anything. You never want to stop learning.

I don't really like the slogan 'It boy.'

Artistic ambition is important. And it seems it would be a great time to do some theatre, like a new extreme.

If you give an actor any wiggle room to whine in situations where they want to whine, you're gonna whine.

Maybe you will be afraid and maybe you will fail, but the courage to take risks in any part of your life is, I feel, a very worthwhile way to live.

A lot of the stuff in 'Speed Racer' has never been done before, from it having a multi-tone, to it having a retro-cool family movie, to having the photo-realism with the CG-backgrounds and infinite focus the way they worked with these digital cameras, to even the color experimentation.

I identify with someone wanting something to work out, but not being able to get through the rocks to the river.
