My mom had very low expectations for me, and she really had a point. I was a big problem at seventeen. If I had a kid like me, I would have those same expectations.

I don't have anything against commercials, and I really like BMWs.

Life and death are illusions. We are in a constant state of transformation.

Fear is the condom of life. It doesn't allow you to enjoy things.

I think every beautiful tale in the world hides the truth and reveals it little by little.

I didn't have a normal academic career. I never studied cinema. I learned from life.

It's more enjoyable for me to know that life is finite. Knowing that, I would like to go to a party.

For me, it's not about masochism to talk about death. For me, it's about observing life through death, from the last point of it.

I never deny a true experience in one shot.

I like to make films, but the only reason I do is because I'm a very bad musician.

Really, I'm a neurotic perfectionist. Every single word in the script is the one that I want.

Let me tell you: the only way to get rid of dragons is to have one of your own.

Data data everywhere but not a thought to think.

My mom's now enjoying Medicare. She's already retired. She earned it. But for those of us, you know, the X-Generation on down, it won't be there for us on its current path.

That is one of the reasons one enjoys acting. Now and again, you get scenes where you work with somebody really good and you have a good time trying to make it really work and really work well.

To be emotionally resilient and to overcome your circumstances, not through fighting, but through being courageous and having endurance was something I thought was of primary importance.

I have a buddy of mine who's a musician, and I play guitar and sing quite a bit with him.

Sometimes when you do a show or a campaign with a designer, you get along with them really well and you become friends. And then, sometimes, people are just a bit... weird.

Come what may, I have been blest.

If I ever lose a role because of my tattoos, I'll quit Hollywood and go to work at Costco.

The soul is the perceiver and the revealer of truth.
