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

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

I think you have to have different tools for each job - you know producer is very different from a director and very different from an actor.

I fell in love with Africa while I was there.

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.
