I loved cinema while growing up and, for the longest time, wanted to be a director.

When I look back at my past and the way I grew up, I grew up on communes. That was meant to be.

In troubled times the last thing you want to do is to stick your money into a film. It's such a gamble.

At times of the severest depression, humor is what binds people together.

I've never been good at accepting jobs six months down the line. I can't do it. If I'm thinking about this, I can't think about that. So I always seem to fly by the seat of my pants.

Acting, the arts in general, is a magnet for the wounded of society.

I love sci-fi because it leads in the imagination, and I always say it has the most intelligent fans in the world.
