Really if you look at my filmography, there's something for everyone!

This is real human drama, we're not creating some amusement park ride for the summer. Even though the movie is really exciting to watch, it's got a real pathos behind it.

There is something about the water - that solitary kind of peaceful feeling. You're on earth but not quite.

Being unprepared makes me nervous. I'm old-fashioned show folk.

Get as much out of life as you possibly can with all the passion that goes with it. Then give it back with all the love and respect it deserves.

Listening stops with the ears, the mind stops with recognition, but spirit is empty and waits on all things.
