The fact that I'd never really seen myself on screen allowed for a blissful ignorance. It didn't feel like a movie. I didn't have that self-consciousness. It was a game that I was playing.

I like acting; I like being lost in the creative process.

I was raised to be some kind of artist.

I'm inspired by anything. Not even just art, just anything that's real and vulnerable.

So many things tear us apart from each other. That's the hardest thing, to fit with all the hatred and pain we're embroiled in. I mean, we're a very violent species, physically and emotionally.

As I've become older and more self-conscious, I'm more aware of films and the film industry. I'm sure you've seen that, but the publicity, the public side of this world is pretty scary to me.

I think a lot of people were like, "Oh, you're 13, you're gonna rebel." But I was never in public school and I was never really forced to do much of anything, as a kid.

I wasn't a child star, so hopefully I can keep my head on straight.

I never watched a frame of the film until it was finished.

I'm not interested in being famous or anything, but I'm definitely interested in expressing emotions, and acting and filmmaking can be great outlets for that. Filmmaking is an incredible art.

Be wild and boundless. Why are you crawling when you have wings of imagination?

Nobody expects to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty.

The true self, once discovered, is the source of creativity, intelligence and personal growth. No external solution has such power.

Charge less, but charge. Otherwise, you will not be taken seriously, and you do your fellow artists no favours if you undercut the market.

An affirmation to say everyday: The healing power of God is working in me right now. Eveyr day I get better and better in every way.

Books don't live and die by awards. You don't listen to an Hector Lavoe album because it won some awards.

Raised Arkansas taxes 5 times, but lowered taxes 94 times.

A thirst for the infinite is indelibly present in human beings. Man was created to have a relationship with God; we need him.

I don't find the business easy. The moment you start talking about the business, you start sounding like someone in Spinal Tap.

Today evil spirits are seen as negativity which floats around the Earth in large quantities.
