Quote

If you daren't enter the forest, or cannot find it, then perhaps you might find one tree, or a place where a tree could be, and just stop for a quiet moment to see what happens.

If you're not optimistic on some level, then you've given up.

I have to say that I think Bernie Sanders is the first politician since Dennis Kucinich that I've been truly inspired by. Where you actually are truly speaking truth to power, in a legitimate way and in an unpretentious and very straightforward way.

I want to see what the Green Party looks like. I think if people don't start voting what they feel, if that's something other than the Democratic Party or the Republican Party, then nothing's going to change. You need more political parties that actually have a chance.

I campaigned for [Dennis] Kucinich in 2008. I continue to be in touch with him and I really admire him. I think he's very brave and honest - unusually so for a U.S. politician.

Be kind. It's worthwhile to make an effort to learn about other people and figure out what you might have in common with them.

I'm just looking as always for something that's stimulating and I hope to find a good story that's a challenge, whether it's big or small. Or that it finds me. I don't have like a career plan. Maybe I should, but I don't.

I prefer the smaller acting than big histrionics. It's about reacting and looks, which is often underestimated.

I think if you don't say something it's lying by omission. I personally think it's immoral.

Some people who like dogs don't like cats, but I'm not like that.

It's easy to get depressed and think, Well, what's the point? But it's the same as, Well, we're all going to die, so what's the point in brushing my teeth or even saying hello to anyone or obeying traffic lights. You can do that, but that's certainly not going to take you anywhere.

In 2016 we are faced with a particularly bizarre and unappetizing choice as regards the two main political parties' presidential candidates, in my opinion.

I like naturally occurring film grain, and what happens to film when it's under- and over-exposed.

The only thing that I always do - is once I've taken on a job, even just to do one scene in a movie, I ask myself, What's happened the moment the kid was born, until page one of the script? To answer that simple question, I have an infinite amount of work to do. And I enjoy that part as much as I enjoy any part of making movies.

When I was a little boy, I rode, but I didn't own horses.

The money I earn from films means I can help the people I want to help - you can do a lot of good if you want to.

Photography, painting or poetry - those are just extensions of me, how I perceive things they are my way of communicating.

I love rehearsing, but a lot of directors don't, and some actors don't.

Image
On a practical level, poetry isn't something anybody has really made a great living at. I might sell some books and, once in a while, someone might pay to hear me read.

Sometimes a scene works and acting is the easiest thing in the world and you don't have to do much of anything - just enjoy yourself and listen to the other actor. When it doesn't work, then every actor has different ways of dealing with the impasse. Sometimes you use memories from the past. Whatever. It depends from job to job.

I have a multicultural background, so I tend to have an open mind about things, and I find other cultures interesting.
