One of the things you don't have in Haiti is you don't have anybody on crack doing something completely out of - that's unpredictable. Even at the worst times in Haiti, the violence that had happened, the lack of security that happened, was largely predictable because it was politically tied.

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

I don't read newspapers too much , just because they tend to make me feel I have a political obligation that I think is a distraction from what my political offerings are going to be if I just make my movies.

Putting something in a movie because it's in the news doesn't make it political to me. If you're not going outside the same old, same old, if you're not pushing the envelope, then you're not doing anything. A good movie is a political thing.

If you're willing to put two thoughts into a picture then you're already ahead of the game.

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

The greatest fear in my life was getting happy. I'm not so afraid of that anymore.
