“Being an artist is dragging your innermost feelings out, giving a piece of yourself, no matter in which art form, in which medium.”

“I have always thought that change you can see and feel is best.”

“Hope is the last thing a person does before they are defeated.”

“I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.”

“I've made some great mistakes in my life, but, you know, they were honest mistakes.”

“Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.”

“So, one way or another, I found myself in a few movies. I take it seriously when I'm on the set, but I don't take myself seriously as an actor.”

“I just travel the world with my backpack and my cameras and a bunch of Clif bars.”

“I don't mean to be arrogant and I really appreciate my fans but talking about what I am doing is not something I'm good at. I do what I do and that's it. I want to get back to my work and do more of it instead of talking about it.”

“But I have a good life. I enjoy what I do. I am married to work.”

“You don't have to twist my arm to work.”

“I just get things done instead of talking about getting them done. I don't go out and party. I don't smoke, drink or do drugs and I'm not married, that leaves a lot of time for my work.”

“Don't do anything by half. If you love someone, love them with all your soul. When you go to work, work your ass off. When you hate someone, hate them until it hurts.”
