I want a world without war, a world without insanity. I want to see people do well. I don't even think it's as much as what I want for myself. It's more what I want for the people around me. That's what I want.

Here's how I've lived my life: I've never been late to a set. I make films I believe in. I feel privileged to be able to do what I love.

Of course [I believe in aliens]. Are you so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe?

Perception and reality are two different things.

Whether it's making a film or raising my children, personally I'm striving to do the right things and to learn.

People go for help, but their lives don't get better because of those [psychiatric] drugs. They get worse. They feel numb and they're told that's a good thing. It's how you degrade a society - by drugging the piss out of it.

I feel the need... the need for speed.
