For some reason when I decide to pursue something, I never have any fear that it won't happen. I think it's just ingrained in my brain. Which I guess is a great advantage.

All of my favorite songs can bring me to tears. Some are rock, some are blues, some are love ballads. That's why I play music - to touch other people as I have been touched.

Two quiet people are not very fun together.

I think ever since I was a kid I knew subconsciously that I wanted to be an actor. I would walk around the house pretending I was somewhere else.

Baz Luhrrman's movie Romeo and Juliet is what made me decide that I wanted to dedicate my life to making films one way or another.

Best advice was from a man by the name of James Dean. "Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today". I read that my senior year in high school and have never stopped since.

I have always been into music ever since I was a kid.

It's very rare that you get a group of people who are all passionate and driven and all get along.

Forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace.

Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.

Perception is the lens through which we interpret experiences, and when we change the lens we change how we experience.

Best to live lightly, unthinkingly.

I don't think it's possible to touch people's imagination today by aesthetic means.

Follow your heart always, and remember to take your head along with you.

I'm not a great collaborator, to tell the truth.

Most importantly, I agree that the truth of these matters should be determined by interpretation of scientific evidence - experiments, fossil studies and the like.
