The whole surf culture is starting to embrace women a lot more.

I wish that something interesting would come across the desk. I'm bored by what people think is interesting.

I'd done two years' worth of extra work, and all my friends who I would go on auditions with went to school for acting. These were kids who knew when they were 14 years old that this was what they wanted to do with their lives, and they prepared for it, and they're getting canned at every audition.

There's something about strength that I really admire, that I failed to see a lot of when I was growing up.

My dad was more, "Let's play chess. Read a book, you're stupid." He's more the intellectual type.

I've gone both ways. I do as I please. I am too f**king curious to sit here and not try when I can. Men are intriguing. So are chicks.

I would like to see a fierce Fantasia mixed with Blade Runner, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars all in one. That's the kind of movies I want to make.
