It's only in innocence you find any kind of magic, any kind of courage.

Whatever one considers art to be, there is in many people a hunger to express themselves creatively and to feel authentic in doing that.

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

Fulfilling what you start is why you start something.

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.

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'm not going to recommend recklessness but somewhere just short of it - testing yourself and proactively pursuing a rite of passage has become necessary because in western developed countries we've become very comfort-addicted.
