You have to decide if you're going to wilt like a daisy or if you're just going to go forward and live the life that you've been granted.

I split my time between Santa Barbara and Aspen. I live on a pretty fast horse.

I deal with pressure. I have a tendency to probably be at my best under pressure.

I've had some movies that have been ridiculed, but that's OK with me. I don't feel that really defines me. Should I change who I am to be popular?

The truth is, I just want do things that are original and throw an original spin on them.

When I read Thirteen Days I was moved by it. It was just a great time for the world, in terms of looking back in history and seeing how we got ourselves into trouble and how we got ourselves out of trouble.
