When you act in a film, you're inevitably surrounded by people you didn't choose, right down to the set painter. I like being able to pick the family I'm waking up to in the morning that's going to make this group effort to tell a story that applies to what's interesting to me at that stage in my life.

I don't think you can get away with putting your talents in a toilet bowl and not having them flushed away. Forever. There is a level of murder of one's soul and of the culture that they're supposed to be feeding vitamins to.

I like to believe that love is a reciprocal thing, that it can't really be felt, truly, by one.

That difference do you think you can make, one man in all this madness?

So if we have anything original to offer, it's to speak from our own life about the society we're in.

I don't want to lie, play games, hurt somebody, or get hurt. You can only go forward in one direction.

My favorite thing to do is not act - it's that simple.
