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.

The worst thing I could be accused of is that I'm a one-way dude, only out for myself. But the worst thing a woman can do is not to say anything. Especially when you're starting a relationship.

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.

I don't like movies where everything happens fast. I like the buildup, the obstacles, the mystery.

When I was twenty-two it was a lot harder to get hurt by women. It was easier for me to, you know, cheat on a girlfriend. I can't lie like that anymore.

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

I like conflict, drama's conflict and if you don't have that in the character it's really not a worthwhile role to play for me.
