Well I can tell you that for me generally speaking that I think things that I deal with are all to do with not accepting things, not excepting life on life's terms. My life becomes a lot easier when I'm willing to just accept. I don't have to like circumstances as they are, but I have to accept them and that's where I always seem to get thrown, when I try to will my way instead of accept things the way they are.

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.

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.

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.

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.
