My definition of a father is someone who empowers their children.

I think I've become more relaxed throughout my career. I don't feel the need to jump up and down and make a big noise to get people to pay attention to me. I don't need to do punk rock gestures or eat a cockroach or do something weird to say I exist.

Movies work, in my opinion, on the best level when they're more enigmatic, when we don't say it's this or that and where it raises more questions than answers.

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

I don't want to sit around by the pool luxuriating with a margarita. That's just not what I want to do.

I got a little tired of movies where I had to shoot people. I got to thinking about the power of film and what that power is. The power is in fact that it really can change people's minds.

I'm always fearful of something happening to people I love. That doesn't go away.
