I wouldn't have wanted to miss the opportunity to make those three films that didn't do well. They were really important to me, and the things I learned doing them were important to me.

I was eccentric, even as a kid. I was an early reader, an early talker. I was very curious in a way that maybe the other kids weren't. I was a little more outgoing.

I think there's a God and I know it's not me. I don't have a set of tenets, but I live an ethical life.

I can get sad, I can get frustrated, I can get scared, but I never get depressed - because there's joy in my life.

When I was 20, I would have taken a bullet in the head to never have to be 35.

I don't set a whole lot of goals. It smacks a little bit of will to me, and I find that will is not the way to go for me.

If I were overweight because I ate too much, I would have far more of a complex. I would know if I just stopped eating and showed a little discipline I would be thin. But there's not a hell of a lot I can do about being short. You just gotta run with it.
