I tend to think having an impact on the world is a lot more complicated than government.

I'm definitely not a science nerd, I'll say that. That was not my forte at school.

As soon as you are trying to be funny or dramatic, that's when things start feeling fake and boring.

I didn't want to just work within Hollywood when I started a production company. I wanted to be able to collaborate with great artists from all over the world.

While I'm not a celebrity, it's such a weird concept that society has cooked up for us. Astronauts and teachers are much more amazing than actors.

The most valiant thing you can do as an artist is inspire someone else to be creative.

I collect flickering stars in old pickling jars, poking holes in the lids so they can breathe.
