One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a horse master. He told me to go slow to go fast. I think that applies to everything in life. We live as though there aren't enough hours in the day but if we do each thing calmly and carefully we will get it done quicker and with much less stress.

Life is short and the older you get, the more you feel it. Indeed, the shorter it is. People lose their capacity to walk, run, travel, think, and experience life. I realise how important it is to use the time I have.

I prefer the smaller acting than big histrionics. It's about reacting and looks, which is often underestimated.

I have no idea what 'method actor' means.

To find a good story, you’re generally going to find it in independent or lower budget movies... I wouldn’t mind doing a big budget movie if it had a great story.

Be kind. It's worthwhile to make an effort to learn about other people and figure out what you might have in common with them.

Each time I make a movie, it's like a paid scholarship to a different university course.
