When I have a day off, I won't spend it at a Hollywood party. I'd rather be at home with paints and a blank canvas.

I don't think you get to be pope without making some enemies, like you do when you're president.

I've been lucky to learn by playing all kinds of roles and watching all kinds of really good cinematographers, actors, and directors for many years before people were even aware of me in terms of audience.

You have a moral obligation to finish the job you said you would do.

I really enjoyed working with New Zealanders as crew members, as teammates. They're great, and it's a beautiful country. It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, and I've traveled quite a bit.

It's easy to get depressed and think, "Well, what's the point?" But it's the same as, "Well, we're all going to die, so what's the point in brushing my teeth or even saying hello to anyone or obeying traffic lights." You can do that, but that's certainly not going to take you anywhere.

I'd like to, when it's all said and done, say that I have at least a few stories that I feel proud of.
