My favorite thing to do is not act - it's that simple.

I don't read newspapers too much , just because they tend to make me feel I have a political obligation that I think is a distraction from what my political offerings are going to be if I just make my movies.

I can always see light in any situation. It's just the way I'm made.

A clearer and more conventional narrative would have helped the film without, in my opinion, lessening its beauty and its impact. Frankly, I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing there and what I was supposed to add in that context! What's more, Terry Malick himself never managed to explain it to me clearly.

Jon Krakauer had documented it very accurately and very well but this kid made a real impression on people, and likewise they on him. To talk to them was very moving in many cases because they talk about him like they saw him yesterday. In most cases they knew this kid for a couple of weeks in their whole life and he just lasted with them.

Well, look at all of these summer blockbusters. You can't help but laugh a little, because you've already seen a lot of these movies 482 times.

I think if you want good things to happen for a country like Haiti, then you need to provide the circumstances where the Haitians can do that.

I like to believe that love is a reciprocal thing, that it can't really be felt, truly, by one.

You need governance, but you also need a middle class, you need agriculture, they need to be able to export. I think that's probably the biggest issue, the job creation that could come with the kinds of things that Haiti has all the potential in the world to export.

I can make a better living as an actor than I can as a director. Though I certainly would prefer to be directing movies.

I just want real creative freedom without worrying about, you know, car payments.

I think that I've still not been successful at playing the role of the retired actor, and I'd like to work on that.
