I think spiritual perception comes from natural and healthy relationship to the land and I've had that. I get an easy, automatic sense of myself in nature, a wholeness and I feel nowhere else. I think people should live where praying is most immediate. That`s why I live in New Mexico. The physical terrain, the feeling, the environment and culture improve my life just by waking up there.

I don't believe in death. I think it's just a state of mind.

Without deadlines and restrictions I just tend to become preoccupied with other things.

I love that Bob Dylan asked me to be in the first movie he wrote.

It's the persona that makes you a leading actor. A leading actor has something extra that's fun to watch. But it isn't usually about acting.

It is a weird thing that actors have people applaud when they're done working. I still find that entertaining.

Art is a way to get strength from something that is life-affirming. It can be quite violent and still be life-affirming.
