It's pretty much rock-'n'-roll. I sit down and start feeling stuff and writing.

A SWAT team surrounded my house and came in every door. But it happened because on the day that we split up, Madonna developed a concern that if she were to return to the house, she would get a very severe haircut.

Love is a mess, at best, and I figure it can be very real in spite of all the things people try to attach to it.

On any movie I'm involved with, I say what I think.

A clearer and more conventional narrative would have helped the film without, in my opinion, lessening its beauty and its impact. Frankly, I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing there and what I was supposed to add in that context! What's more, Terry Malick himself never managed to explain it to me clearly.

I get a little scared of words like maturity.

I can make a better living as an actor than I can as a director. Though I certainly would prefer to be directing movies.
