I don't get a lot of choices in movies. It's not like I'm Brad Pitt and I can walk in and go here's the film I want to do and everyone runs around... I don't have that. I stand in line and do auditions. I'm there with 80 other guys trying to be that guy. Every once in awhile I luck out.

There’s got to be someone for me. It’s not too much to ask. Just someone to be with. Someone to love. Someone to give everything to. Someone.

For me, speaking to anyone - on a stage, in an elevator - I am looking for impact and connection. The same goes for writing.

When I am in Africa, I realize I don't know much, have not seen much, and there's a lot to be done.

No such thing as spare time, no such thing as free time, no such thing as down time. All you got is life time. Go.

I really like older writers, perhaps because they take me out of my element. I don't have a great deal of interest in reading a fictionalized present as it's pretty insane as it is.

We Americans look funny when we're in France because we don't travel, we are fairly un-cultured whereas Europeans go to Africa all the time because it's right there.
