In other words, I’m against cheating, greed, cruelty, racism, imperialism, religious fundamentalism, treason, and the seemingly limitless capacity for hypocrisy shown by Bush and his administration.

I have friends who I get along with who I know get very uncomfortable being alone, unless they're with people, talking all the time. Whether it's on the phone, or in person, they're never by themselves. Whereas I could be alone for months.

My goal is just to make movies, whether they're big or small, that I'd like to see 10 years from now.

Most movies are lucky to have one moment, one shot that you look at and you always remember that moment and that scene.

I have a work ethic. If I say I'm going to do something, I do it.

In terms of the movie business, being in a 'Lord of the Rings' has given me more interesting options as work.

I was raised in Argentina until I was 11 and now I go back there a lot, at least twice a year. It's a country where I feel very comfortable and it represents an important period in my life.
