I don't want a perfect character, I want a character who has, as strange as it sounds, some humanity, some flaws, some needs.

Don't lose the best thing in your life just because you are not sure.

I've gotten pretty good at leaving characters on the set. I go home and try to relax and regroup and be ready for the next day.

I think it's no secret that I've tried to take chances in my career and also in my life, and I believe to not live in fear.

My direction as a person working in film has been to never get comfortable with anything I was doing. At the time that I decided to do action films, people were telling me, "Well, you can't do it. You're not that type. It's not going to work." And so obviously that made me think, "Well, that's not comfortable. Maybe I should try it. What can I do with it?" So I did that, and I'm glad I did it. I'll probably do it again, and I did other kinds of things that seemed like challenges for me, because I like being on the high wire.

To begin... To begin... How to start? I'm hungry. I should get coffee. Coffee would help me think. Maybe I should write something first, then reward myself with coffee. Coffee and a muffin. Okay, so I need to establish the themes. Maybe a banana-nut. That's a good muffin.

My house is basically a trailer. I live a circus lifestyle. I'm always moving. It's not always easy for people that live with me, but that's the path I chose.
