I disagree with people who think you learn more from getting beat up than you do from winning.

I've never done work for money, ever. If your choices are based on grosses and the film doesn't do well, what does that mean? It leaves you with nothing.

You know what? I’m sure drug dealers on the street, in some way, they are making money. That’s what I equate it to. Here is the thing: you have to understand, with psychiatry, there is no science behind it. And to pretend that there is a science behind it is criminal

It's well known I'm a Scientologist, and that has helped me to find that inner peace in my life and it's something that has given me great stability and tools that I use.

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

Even in my dreams, I’m an idiot who knows he’s about to wake up to reality.

I don't pretend to be the character. I am the character.
