I think having nature be a part of people's lives helps all of us see ourselves as part of something larger.

To get to be somebody who gets to love what they do for a living, that's so rare, and so there must be some kind of price you have to pay.

We all have this fantasy of finding our one true love who's going to be the perfect fit. It's just not a reality.

I take pleasure in the little things. Double cheeseburgers, those are good, the sky ten minutes before it rains,the moment your laugh turns into a cackle. And I sit here, and smoke my Camel straights, and I ride my own melt.

Years ago I was going to play Chet Baker in another movie and I really felt drawn to that character and the script is good and I met with Robert and we seemed simpatico and we developed. But I had a real passion for that role and that brought me deep into that film 'cause I got the sense that Robert Budreau was going to really let me be creative inside this part.

Whenever a really passionate, talented filmmaker seems to have an interest in me, I take it very seriously because I like to work.

If you study the history of mankind, it seems to be a history of violence. Certainly the history of art, whether you look at paintings or movies or plays or whatever, is just a litany of murder and death.
