I hate parties. I don't like big crowded things.

It is by that which cannot be taken away that we can measure ourselves.

Don't get involved with anyone who doesn't respect his mother.

A person without regrets is a nincompoop.

Life is about loosing, everything, gracefully

Find things that shine and move toward them.

I'm going to take the high road because the low road is so crowded.

One of the reasons that I do a lot of different kinds of pictures is because I learn a lot when I'm doing them.

I like a movie that the audience actively has to participate in, and not just casually observe. Whatever my part in it, just as an audience member, I find that exciting.

I love Polaroids and I have a Polaroid camera collection from the '50s.

I don't want to play the same person twice, that's not why I wanted to act.

I'd love to have children, and I think marriage is great, I really do.

I loved acting as a kid because I was kind of shy, so it brought me out of myself.

I've always done roles that really appealed to me on a gut level and which I found inspiring.

Acting for kids is like playing house, you know? But growing up in Hollywood, it just made it seem possible.

It's very exciting to work with people who inspire you.

Writing, producing and directing, I must say, is incredibly satisfying and gratifying.

When I find a role I want to play, I just go after it.

Children accept their world as the world. I grew up like kids that I went to school with. Their parents were either shrinks or actors.
