I resisted being an actor for some time.

You can very easily be turned into a commodity. I've grown up with it.

While I'm here on this planet, I really want to create art and do creative things.

I'm no romantic, surfing, California boy. I like reading, writing, philosophizing. Scheming. I've been doing some exploration of the inner space.

I don't want to be in a movie with 20 minutes of dialogue and then stand around while the robots start explosions.

I see myself as a creative being. My only fear is compromising my integrity. I guess that's a constant struggle.

Film is something that reaches so many people. How many people are going to go into a gallery? And understand what they're seeing? I think about the guy walking down the street, the guy who drove me here - this guy has the opportunity to go the cinema.
