It has nothing to do with the emotional demands of a role; I've done comedies that are as draining to me as any drama.

In between, I go broke because I seem to do movies where you're not paid a lot as an actor.

Oh, I'm a big-mouth. I said a lot of things.

I do not believe in a simplistic and inflammatory view of good and evil. I believe this is a big world full of men, women, and children who struggle to eat, to love, to work, to protect their families, their beliefs, and their dreams.

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

When I buy a Nikon camera, I have no tolerance for the instructions. I'm ready to make some mistakes using it and get some bad pictures back until I've figured it out for myself.

In short form I'll say it was an approach to the family and to [author] Jon Krakauer that then led to me seeming to rise to the top of the heap of several filmmakers that were trying to get the rights. And by top of the heap I mean in terms of being somebody that was trusted to do it as they said they were going to attempt to do it and that this way of doing it would be something they would be willing to allow.
