As a little kid growing up in Hollywood, I was called 'a little crazy'. And now I guess I'm still that way.

Our planet's alarm is going off, and it is time to wake up and take action!

If a film is good, and I'm sort of able to sit there and absorb myself within that world. And get lost. That is a pretty powerful tool. And there's not many paintings out there, that make me want to stare at it for hours at a time, and wonder where I am!

There is no element of genius without some form of madness.

I am completely open to doing a romantic comedy, but I will never do something just for the sake of doing a specific genre or because it's the time or place to do a different type of movie. I think that would be a huge mistake.

It's very hard to impose your beliefs or a specific message about any given movie. I think that audiences always extract what they want from a film even if something isn't overtly political. They may or may not get it, and it's hard to control that.

Drugs? Every one has a choice and I choose not to do drugs.
