I'd rather walk a tightrope than have my feet on the ground.

You're either going to walk through life and experience it fully or you're going to be a voyeur. And I'm not a voyeur.

I have a different approach. I don't file lawsuits because I really don't care.

I believe the experiences of life are more important than any film you make.

My path was to be an actor and it’s been very good to me in life. It’s broadened my horizons and given me a lot of gifts.

That sort of detailed filmmaking is one, hard to do and not have it be pretentious, and two, have it tell the story, which is what you're taught, that cinema is the language of images and you really should be able to make a film with no dialogue and tell a story.

My mother said I was always an intense child, a very sensitive child. So that probably helped the emotions to be very present. I was just a big thinker. I would evaluate and analyze and feel and cry and discuss and be angry. All of those emotions were very surface for me.
