Tibetan Buddhism had an enormous impact on me.

My life is pretty simple and normal.

I've had an interesting life.

I'm less needy about needing to express myself through acting. I have many different lives outside of this that are extremely fulfilling.

I had a friend in the neighborhood whose father had Playboy magazines, and we would go over and look at them. I remember cutting out pictures and hiding them in my room.

I haven't worked with people who are jealous or competitive. That's a particularly deadly attitude to have when you're working on a film.

(Sometimes when) someone's directing for the first time, they're afraid to include everyone - they have to prove they're the director.
