Whenever a film allows you to think and feel and take it beyond the moment, I think it's achieved something. And 'Funny Games' does that.

I always love being in the company of women. It's all about good conversation and great wine.

There's a lot of skeletons in my closet, but I know what they're wearing. I'm not gonna act all ashamed of it.

I'm not this dark, twisted person. Yes, I have my demons and this is my way of exorcising them. It gets them out - and better out than in.

If we could just trust the moment that we're in and live it in the way that you best can embrace it, it would be much better for all of us.

You have to make peace with yourself. The key is to find the harmony in what you have.

Pain is such an important thing in life. I think that as an artist you have to experience suffering.

It's always nerve-racking to take off your clothes on film. But doing it with a woman felt safer than with a man. You know you can say, 'Don't grab me there: That's where my cellulite is'!

I'm not happy unless I've got a little bit of fear going.

We're so afraid of death in our culture, but I think if we understand it better, then we'll appreciate the life we have more.

A grateful mindset can set you free from the prison of disempowerment and the shackles of misery.

Death is never easy when you know the people doing the dying.

Your original 'factory setting' is to be an efficient fat-burning beast!

I am genuinely not an over-the-top kind of person about politics or anything else.

Revenge is the easiest of emotions to understand and to manipulate.

I write music. I'm in a band.

I'd already made the decision before I'd even read it-just because it was John Sayles. Then when I read it, the themes were actually themes that have been a big part of my life.

The most important lesson that man can learn from life, is not that there is pain in this world, but that it is possible for him to transmute it into joy.

The way I see it, rock n' roll is folk music.

I think every person and place is interesting, and there's an interesting story behind every door.
