I have personal beliefs and they are sometimes reflected in the movies I make, but I also reflect other points of view.

Toy Soldiers was my introduction to film. I certainly didn't think I was doing art by any stretch of the imagination.

I learned much more about acting from philosophy courses, psychology courses, history and anthropology than I ever learned in acting class.

I couldn't care less about being a presenter at the Oscars.

I don't know if I ever really bought into the eternal damnation bit.
