I do believe very strongly that all of us and all of the other things in the context of our planet with Mother Nature, all of these things absolutely have a profound effect.

I think when you get the opportunity to work with someone like Lars Von Trier... I mean, Alexander Skarsgård, Charlotte Rampling, John Hurt, just to work with those actors, you take that opportunity when you get it.

I feel extraordinarily peaceful when I'm watching the sun set.

There are two things that Jack Bauer never does. Show mercy, and go to the bathroom.

I'm not that complicated as an actor. I have a formula in which I work, yeah. But not like Sean Penn does. Sean is one of the few actors I know who can work like that, actually becoming the character he is playing, and get consistent results. I don't believe you can ever be someone else. You manifest different levels of your own personality to come up with a character.

I like chatting with people. If people ask me a direct question, I give them a direct answer and I feel I've always done that with the press.

I've made films that I've given all I had to, that no one has seen. The bottom line is I want to work and I want someone to enjoy it.
