Filmmaking in general is just really where I'm putting all of my energy.

I'm the type of person who feels I have to prove myself first.

I fell in love with Africa while I was there.

And not to mean that I think I'm some special person, but I think we're all here for a very specific reason and once you figure out what that is then you're on the right track and we're all on the ride together.

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

I love actors who are wonderful - like John Cusack and Russell Crowe, and wouldn't it be a treat to eventually direct them one day.

Maybe they say they do but I don't think many actors really enjoy trying to do a Shakespearean play.
