I believe in fate. Sometimes that means an old bearded guy sitting on a cloud and pulling the strings; sometimes it means random atoms swirling through a cheerless universe; sometimes it means everything being preordained thanks to your karma credit from your previous lives.

I questioned everything. I didn't see a character developed in Platoon at all. The character in Blue Velvet was much more fascinating to me

To quote Agent Cooper, 'I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange.'

Doing a film, or being sent scripts to look at a certain character, it's very odd for me. I tend to take it very personally.

I garden a lot in LA, so fashion consists of boots, work pants and T-shirts, unless I'm going out.

I do hang on to things. I was so happy my father saved his army jacket. I grew up wearing that all through high school.

I'm pretty, for lack of a better word, happy-go-lucky. I take things very seriously, but I'm very aware of people around me. I like to be part of a group that's working together towards something positive.
