I get a friend to travel with me... I need somebody to bring me back to who I am. It's hard to be alone.

Acting is the only time when I truly maintain the spontaneity that I want to be present at all times.

The last thing I want to turn into is a fat Hollywood jerk. I was brought up without much money and I was happy. I don’t think that I will strive for money or success and end up greedy or big-headed. That only leads to unhappiness. I can still be down-to-earth and do this job as long as I enjoy it.

From an outsider's perspective, it's amazing what [Clint Eastwood] does. If he's not directing a film, he's acting in it, or rather he's composing the music for that film. His commitment to what he does is astounding for all of us to witness. It's inspiring, actually.

When I can't immediately define the character, and there's an element of mystery to it and still a lot to be explored, that's when I say yes.

If you can do what you do best and be happy, you're further along in life than most people.

Protecting our future on this planet depends on the conscious evolution of our species.
