I'm such a hater, and will hate on anything.

Animals are a continuous source of inspiration and wonder to me. I would love to play a dog.

A lot of my world-view is formed by the places Ive been.

Anyone who lives like a modern aristocracy, the last thing they exhibit is a sense of gratitude. Me, Im very fortunate.

In my twenties, I was a huge, insane risk-taker.

I think all art - if it's good - is a result of really trying to create something that you can't put into words. Where language ends is where good art begins.

That's where the most beautiful art is always created, when you have someone not worried about what the outcome is.

I still wrestle with the catharsis of acting. I don't end up playing a lot of likable characters, so I find myself living in a lot of unlikable skin. As a result of that I don't always feel good.

Men and animals regard each other across a gulf of mutual incomprehension.

The bigger the corporation, the bigger the corruption. The more invisible the corporation, the more malicious it is.

Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands but let it go and you learn at once how big and precious it is.

The hero surviving his own murder, his own suicide, his own addiction, surviving his own disappearance from the scene

Write the poem only you can write.

When I look back, if I'd played something differently, it might not have gone the way it did. So I don't feel like going back to my twenties and changing anything.

Only when one has learned to acknowledge that wiser minds have made better words to come out of our mouths may we truly, then, begin to speak them.

I come from a traditional theater background.

To be rich nowadays merely means to possess a large number of poor objects.

Fiction offers escape but it also interrogates the world we live in, whether the past, present or future.
