I just want to keep making movies that hopefully makes some kids smile.

Picasso said art is a lie that tells the truth. What if you just want to tell the truth and not lie about it?

More than ever, movies reveal themselves as healing, as helpful, as encouraging, as escapist - anything that makes someone get through their day in these times. It's the best form of entertainment, and it's still arguably the most inexpensive form of entertainment.

I don't think movies are the reason why this violence exists, I think it's going to happen whether movies are there or not.

I knew I wanted to be an actor when I was very young. I guess I was about 6 years old at the time, and I was fascinated by television. I started having waking fantasies where I was in a movie and there were crane shots of me during a scene.

I would say that I'm 98 percent skeptical, but the other 2 percent [is] open for the possibility of things.

I love all animals. I have a fascination with fish, birds, whales - sentient life - insects, reptiles.
