If you say to yourself, okay, I will not self-destruct. I don't have to be the most talented person. I don't have to be everybody's best friend, I don't have to be liked, I don't have to be successful, well, one thing I will not do is self-destruct. If you take that out, your chances for success just went up like 800 percent.

Right now the only people I can really fall in love with are people who don't really, truly want me around. Now why do I do that?

The thing that makes a great genre movie is one that's not just entertainment, not just horror or sci-fi or whatever. The ones I love are the genre pictures with some subversive message underlying it all.

If I do three movies in a year, I don't feel like acting ever again.

I think that as soon as you think of yourself as a famous person or anything like that, you're objectifying yourself in some weird way.

Success isn't measured by what you achieve, it's measured by the obstacles you overcome.

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