Change is always proceeded by a little pain. Some people can change and they don't have to go through so many painful things. But I think that I'm of a personality that I'm a little stubborn, so it's always tough for me.

Acting is like lying. The art of lying well. I'm paid to tell elaborate lies.

Time helps a lot. I found the fame thing really was a torment for a while. Then you learn to deal with it.

I think any kind of hiatus one takes in an artistic journey is going to make a huge difference. The pause will inform the choices that you make.

Sometimes you got to a point where it wasn't happening and you had to figure out another way to do it, particularly in terms of making the jaguar do what you wanted. That was not CG, a real guy had to run really fast and not trip. There was a form of restraint on the creature that you can't see. so it was all very safe - but it is real.

I'm always writing. There is always a story brewing in my head.

Pain is the precursor to change.
