[on editing of the films] There is always a question of time, and the director. I've worked with a lot of directors who don't mind my involvement. They appreciated it.

Mindfulness is a quality that's always there. It's an illusion that there's a meditation and post-meditation period, which I always find amusing, because you're either mindful or you're not.

Always walk towards open doors. And if they slam shut in your face, kick that sucker in and keep going.

There is nothing real about film. Nothing. Even the light particles that project the film can't be proven to exist. Nothing is there.

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.

I do my work as an actor, but another part of my work goes to the piece as a whole. I can be fairly detached looking at my work and be brutal on myself.

People have a different idea of how movies are made than they really are.
