Actor

The world is ruled by violence, or at least the imminent threat of violence. It always has been.

I don't really go through a process, it goes through me.

I don't really go through a process, it goes through me.

I don't like things too overstated in the cut or too perfect.

I only have two rules for my newly born daughter: she will dress well and never have sex.

I don't have a saviour or a royal family.

I have driven school buses, sold egg rolls and painted houses, and I have often wondered what my life would have been like if I hadn't gone into acting. Mind you, it's a great life, going around pretending you're other people and getting paid ridiculous sums of money for it.

It's tough to figure out how do we compete in Europe and North America, when obviously a living wage for us is very different than a living wage in Indonesia.

I'm supposed to be a pretty good theater actor.

I'm very much a typical midwesterner, and I don't think the condition is curable.

If you don't interfere with me, I'll always do something really good.

I don't want a trillion-dollar empire to run.

Actors generally get to do things you probably shouldn't do in real life - well, at least as much as one might like to or be tempted to. Though I suppose a lot of actors just go ahead and do it, don't they?

I don't want to be boring. But that's not always easy.

I'd hate to see any film I'm involved in fail, especially artistically but also business-wise.

I like to direct movies, but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about it.

I am inspired by the appearance of a bohemian of the new millennium. I thought it was necessary to update the figure of the bohemian, but not in the traditional way.

I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.

I still have a temper, I suppose.

You can be a mason and build 50 buildings, but it doesn't mean you can design one.
