I'm always trying to work on scripts. I'm pretty selective. Sometimes maybe too much because I'm broke .

I think in some ways you learn more from the things you don't like than the things you do.

Acting is really scary, but it's also challenging, fun, hard work. There's always an element of improvisation with every actor, even when something is really scripted.

It sounds cliche, but success is your friends, your family, what you do, and if you're happy when you wake up.

When actors give their input, it can be very ego-driven, and directors are scared of that.

I think Van Sant is the most important American director we have. He takes the most risks. He's just pure to me.

I'm not really equipped to do anything else but making movies. In every other aspect of my life I'm a total failure.

I feel that film, as opposed to theatre, is about capturing that one, real moment.

I saw the main character played by Mads Mikkelsen, and he's amazing. Hannibal had that going for it.

I have fun making films. I love making films. It's the only thing I know how to do. And I do it well.

Right now is a very interesting time because of the digital cameras, and the fact that you can edit anywhere. It's a great time to be a filmmaker, is a great time to be starting off.

When you're locked up in here for life, you learn to welcome the little freedoms.

If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember that this whole thing was started with a dream and a mouse.

As a profession advertising is young; as a force it is as old as the world.

Believe that if you make courageous choices, and bet on yourself, then you will have an impact.

Comedy and tragedy are two sides of the same coin. A talent in one area might also lead to a predisposition in the other.

There's more to us than the moment we made a bad decision.

Sunsets are my escape into the reality I want to continuously live.

I'm not wanting and I don't live in a hovel, but if you keep your costs low, you can do what you want to do creatively.

Love calls to love and my heart is your own.

You can only give away what you have inside. Become an instrument of love, invite love to accompany you 24/7. Give away love, and it has to come streaming into your life.
