My experience on 'Jarhead' was life changing.

I have a profound respect for cinematographers. That is my secret sauce. Like they are everything to me.

People say to me, well "What's the character you really want to play?" And I go, I don't know.

To me Donnie Darko was about adolescence. And about how, as soon as you start to grow up and you sort of move out into the world, you realize everything is so trippy. That anything can be anything.

Every journey starts with fear.

Crazy people don't sit around wondering if they're nuts.

I also think within the scene, a specific scene - if I were to play a part that I played 10 years ago now, my interpretation of that scene would be totally different. I would be making different choices. Because I can't somehow subtract all of the experiences that I've had in my life. And it's fascinating to see, because somewhere I'm very reflective in that. You know, I've been playing basically actually close to 40 years old, so I'm somewhere lost in age in this movie. But it's been fascinating to see that I can't subtract that time.
