I am a filmmaker fanatic. I have never been star-struck by an actor once in my entire life.

It's always better to shock people and change people's expectations than to give them exactly what they think you can do.

Germany's amongst my top three places in the world I'd like to live.

I want to meet the man who saw a turtle and said, "People will LOVE the ninja version of that."

I assume everything I do in life is gonna be a failure, and then if it turns up roses, then I'm psyched.

If you're trying to make someone happy, you gotta try and make them happy.

New Orleans is like the bad-kid island in 'Pinocchio.'

The great thing about 'Allen Gregory' is that we try to make it really questionable that the things he says have happened, have really happened. We like that ambiguity.

I don't like to say mean things about people's hard work.

I mean, being shot in slow motion doing cocaine by Martin Scorsese is, like, maybe every actor's dream. Nothing will compare to it. Except maybe having kids.

Emotional pain cannot kill you, but running from it can. Allow. Embrace. Let yourself feel. Let yourself heal.

Judge me if you want, but at the end of my life I choose to have memories not regrets.

God isn’t in the event

Afghanistan's borders are arbitrary, drawn to meet 19th-century political needs rather than to respect ethnic or religious patterns.

The eternal present is the space within which your whole life unfolds, the one factor that remains constant. Life is now. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be.

I say that I played a doorstop in Dune because I remember standing around a lot. I was down there for months.

Happiness cannot help but dance around you when you are fulfilled.

A little amateur painting in water colors shows the innocent and the quiet mind.

It's refreshing to hear something that's pop but doesn't sound like Britney Spears.

Shopping is actually very similar to farming a field. You can't keep buying the same thing, you have to have a bit of variety. Otherwise you get bored and stop enjoying yourself.
