My life is pretty simple and normal.

People don't understand what happiness is, so they have an idea of what will make them happy, but it never does.

I think most of our religious institutions are pretty corrupt, so they're not reliable. I think the Christian religion that I was brought up with has very little to do with Christ, really, and more an institutions that have built up around the church.

Maybe the Dalai Lama is the only person who is totally honest, and even with him, he's skillful not to hurt anybody. He's skillful.

People are expecting me to be a certain way all the time. It's not like if I come in here with a totally different personality and right before the camera starts they see this new character. It confuses everything. Life has a consensus reality to it and if you use that to your advantage it makes it much easier.

A lot of making a movie is the comfort level of the people. It's just feeling open. We need to get along. We have to know something about each other.

When you get up in the morning, set your motivations.
