When I am in Tibet, I am very happy. The Tibetans radiate. They literally send out light. The Dalai Lama's holiness generates love and compassion to every human being. He has committed himself to that. I haven't made that leap yet. I haven't given up self-aspiration. I still love making movies.

There's really one character for every actor. The voyage is to find that one character.

If you have any question in your mind, don't do it. If you go in thinking it's going to fix something that's wrong, don't do it.

Sometimes it's an external approach where one can learn the skills required, let's say, learn to play the trumpet and in that process other things happen. It's magical: through the process of practicing four hours a day you start focusing on emotion and when you pick up the trumpet it's filled with feeling.

I don't regret anything. Everything happens for a reason-it's part of the healing process. Life is a healing process.

I think life is self-examination. Certainly the voyage that one takes.
