I don't want to just do independent movies and I don't want to just do adventure films. I enjoy both, and I think both are cogent.

If you're really special, meaning you're doing something unique and original, it could scare people.

I just try to keep it fresh. I try to keep it interesting. The truth is my roots are independently spirited dramas that are small, and I will always go back to that well, because that's where I broke out of. But I'm going to keep doing as many different movies as I possibly can.

There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is, how do we arm the other 11?

Most of my favourite moments in film have been when I've had an opportunity to say something from scratch, something original, whether I jotted down a few lines or it came out in improvisation.

These so called Popcorn movies, or family movies, actually provide something quite beautiful and something quite necessary, which is a family bonding experience.

For me, acting was a way of taking destructive energy and doing something productive with it, and in that way it was quite a life saver.
