I think that if you walk through this life and I end up being a bad father, then it won't matter anything else I achieved in my life. It will all be irrelevant.

And the best films feel like a fist punching you in the solar plexus and all elements of the filmmaking process - the acting, the design, the cinematography, the music, is all working to one end.

I have had so many bad auditions.

I'm a huge Luc Besson fan. The Fifth Element, I just loved that movie. Luc cast me to play a small part in it, and so I did, because I love all his movies actually - The Big Blue, La Femme Nikita, Léon: The Professional. His movies are so wonderful. It's just fun to be in it and for it to be a sci-fi movie.

The more kind of head trippy sci-fi. I always like that. I was a big 'Twilight Zone' freak.

I love working on scripts. I love coming up with ideas about what people would dress like or talk like. I love all that.

Your development as a person should coincide with your development in all aspects of your life.
