I think I'll always be a theater gypsy at heart.

I wouldn't say that I'm overly religious, but I have a pretty good relationship with my spiritual being.

It's very hard to become an actor in film and television, you have to have such perseverance and you have to really believe that if you have any sort of talent at all, you will find work one day.

I think the joy of wanting to direct is having that nervous anxiety knowing your film is about to be shown and you're sitting right there with everyone.

I’ve been looking at oil paintings from oriental artists lately, and the one artist who’s inspired me right now is a man named Hokusai and I’ve had his book by my bed looking at how he interprets landscapes – mountains and water and flowers and birds.

I believe I have a lot to learn in life, still.

I hope that my work makes a difference because I think that's why I do it.
