I really love living in cities where the people living above, below and next to you are from totally different worlds to you.

I'll tell you, there's no goodies and baddies in the world, there's just people with intentions that sometimes clash.

I don't really use the Internet or the newspapers to find out about people.

I've never got a part in the same way twice. I've never prepared the same way. I've never experienced the filming the process the same way.

I think that what drives most of us as human beings is the want for something. You might have a hope, or a big dream, or a goal that you haven't yet achieved.

I've never thought it was a good idea to act back-to-back. If you are going to have any chance of replicating life, you need to live it. I also never forgot something Johnny Depp said to me, which Marlon Brando said to him, 'You only have so many faces in your pocket.' I really admire artists who take the time to recharge their batteries and not continually call on it. I think you can spot tired and jaded artists quite quickly.

I think that the process of trying to become somebody else, and obviously the director/actor relationship in trying to do that, is such a weird, undefinable thing.
