As we progress into the twenty-first century, anyone who considers themselves a realist will have to make the environment a top priority.

I've really only had one (dream) since I got into this business at 13 years old, which was to be in this business forever. Once I did my first television commercial, I caught that itch and that bug. I want to be a part of pieces of art - as far as cinema is concerned - that people will want to see for generations to come. That's my dream.

You never know as a director what other directors do. Because you don't get to see what they do.

My dad has always been the bohemian.

People want you to be a crazy, out-of-control teen brat. They want you miserable, just like them. They don't want heroes; what they want is to see you fall.

The things that you did with parents, whether it was spending every Sunday morning with your dad and eating French toast and watching Popeye, or decorating the Christmas tree with our mother - these are memories that help you be happy.

I'm a big history buff so to walk the streets...the ancient world like that was pretty astounding.
