As an actor, you can't be off the market for too long.

One of the things I've learned over the years is that you only do what you can do as an actor. You do the best job you can, but you have no control over so many elements that are going to determine the outcome of that film. I never pay attention to what happens after.

It's a pretty good job being an actor, but it's work sometimes. And when I say work, I mean it's a job.

One of my greatest fears is not being able to change, to be caught in a never-ending cycle of sameness. Growth is so important.

The great, rewarding thing about directing is that you're overseeing the whole thing. When you're an actor, you're just one department.

Obviously all religions get corrupted by man. The initial ideas are interesting but once they get organized they seem to become about politics and other things and they get misinterpreted. . . . Have faith but do the work. Live your life right. Dont expect things to happen. Thats why Im put off by magical realism.

I sometimes think love is God's way of hoodwinking people into having kids. You fall in love, and all that passion goes into procreating and wanting children. I've felt that need to want to raise a child. It's a creative urge.
