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

I try to avoid conflict. I don't want people to be unhappy.

I'm optimistic about people and about the planet and about nature. I think it's resilient, like people are.

I'm very comfortable in Argentina. I was raised there as a baby and stayed there until I was 11 years old, so the first decade of my life or my formative years were spent in Argentina. I stayed in tune with the food, music and language.

There's no excuse to be bored. Sad, yes. Angry, yes. Depressed, yes. Crazy, yes. But there's no excuse for boredom, ever.

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.

I'm not that involved in personal grooming. But I try not to be offensive to people.
