The body needs to rest. It needs a lot less exercise than you think.

Sometimes I write with music on, and if I'm in a good flow, I don't even hear it.

That's the hardest thing about doing sequels - you've lost the element of surprise.

I've done my "mind over matter" movies, and I think probably that people aren't really interested in seeing me do that anymore. I think I'm kind of past my prime to do dramatic films. I think it'd become kind of like almost a pathetic cry out to be recognized as a serious drama actor.

Suddenly I've got an overwhelming desire to surround myself with the aura of classical and Romantic art.

If you look at people that have survived crashing in the mountains and lived up in the snow for 40 days - it's possible to do extraordinary feats.

I think I'd like to be remembered as someone who beat the odds through just plain determination. ... that I persevered. Because I think that being somewhat of a pest to life, constantly plaguing and pursuing, will bring results.
