If it was something that I really committed myself to, I don't think there's anything that could stop me becoming President of the United States.

There's a certain delusional quality that all successful people have to have.

My skin is hard when it comes to my music. But with my movies, I'm still a virgin in a lot of ways. I'm not used to being shot down for no reason.

The greatest experience I've ever had in a movie theater was watching "Star Wars." It shaped how I look at the world. My imagination was so small before I went in that theater and there was an explosion in my head. I just couldn't figure out how someone came up with it.

There's a forgiveness that literary audiences will give you that film audiences don't give you. It's the two hour construct. You're in there and it needs to climax and finish.

You can create whatever you want. You just have to know what you want and take the opportunities as they come your way. We are who we choose to be.

Sometimes you have to forget what's gone, appreciate what still remains, and look forward to what's coming next.
