Well, the kind of central question: "Do you want to live - and I don't mean stay alive - do you want to feel your life while you're living it?" You know, there's somewhere to go that was here before we were and is going to be here after us, so get out there in it. It doesn't take somebody who's got some self-important sense of their own attachment to nature to recognise that you're just stupid if you don't go out there.

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

I don't see life as an opportunity to see how far you can go in the pursuit of pain, although I think I've challenged it a bit.

Yeah, I had actually tried to stop acting before I made Dead Man Walking.

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.

I think we all have light and dark inside us.

I'm not good at talking to strangers, whether they're sick children or they're - I'm just not good. I'm shy with it.
