When I'm tired of taking on too much responsibility as a director I then look for an acting gig.

Filmmaking is a huge privilege; it's not brain surgery. It's art, and art is supposed to be an enjoyable process, and it is an enjoyable experience for me.

I like my body, I like to have fun with what I put on, but I also want to remain classic. So I guess my signature is sexy and eclectic but classic.

I had had a huge background in the nuance of the accent because I went to drama school in England for four years.

I love fashion. I always have. When I was a kid, I was in almost full-on costumes when I went to school, and I've retained a bit of that in my adulthood.

With more money brings more fear and when you're trying to be creative in a fear-based environment it's dangerous. Then decisions are made out of fear, not what's best for the film.

Actually, in my own life I think I probably feign neuroses to be more interesting than I am.

I am lactose intolerant, and I always thought it was really funny how people who are lactose intolerant continue to eat dairy, because they like it so much. And I find it not acceptable.

I think of myself as a content creator and hopefully one day a content enabler and supporter of others, so that's what my immediate and hopefully future journey is.

I'm going to say a phrase or terminology or vowel that I don't know how to attack .

I'm vegan on home base, but when I travel to other countries, I throw it all into the garbage.

We all know what we have to do what the inkling provokes us. We have to do the right thing. We have to make that extra push out of bed, or off the sofa. We must just do it.

Now is the time to create living relationships with our loved ones who have died.

We cannot be normal and alive at the same time.

Determine to do some thinking for yourself. Don't live entirely upon the thoughts of others. Don't be an automaton.

It is the duty of every man to render to the Creator such homage...Before any man can be considered as a member of Civil Society, he must be considered as a subject of the Governor of the Universe.

I want to be up there, being lauded and applauded and given all these and on the red carpet, waving at the hordes of people.

People plan, God laughs.

I do have a side of me that would just love to be stuck in the woods and have to stick it out and be really resourceful.

Every man is indeed bound to do what he can to promote the good of others, and a man who is of no use to anyone is strictly worthless.

And Thou, vast Ocean! on whose awful face Time’s iron feet can print no ruin-trace, By breezes lull’d, or by the storm-blasts driv’n, Thy majesty uplifts the mind to heaven.
