I have dual citizenship, it just so happens I live in America.

My philosophy is: It's none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am, and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.

We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It's a death trap.

Life's too short to deal with other people's insecurities.

No expectations. Ask nothing, expect nothing and accept everything, and life is very well.

A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

I don't believe in nepotism. I don't much like the idea of parents who interfere.

Relish everything that's inside of you, the imperfections, the darkness, the richness and light and everything. And that makes for a full life.

You're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Agent Starling?

While I am busy with little things I am not required to do greater things.

I think a lot of stuff I find funny is from day dreaming.

To be occasionally quoted is the only fame I care for.

I felt like I kind of got to know [Elvis Presley], and got a little peek inside what was going on there. That was pretty amazing.

I always tell D-West, 'We're the leaders on the team, and if we go down, we've got to go down shooting.'

The way forward is simple - just follow Christ!

I would rather walk every day in the darkness with a God who remains a mystery to me than in the light with a God I completely understand.

I have to detach myself completely from aspirations. I hardly ever listen to music anymore because it arouses all of this yearning in me

I love that you work out relationships with people as you're filming just to get something real to play on screen.

A broad-backed ox can be driven straight on his road even by a small goad.
