I Don't Worry About Whether

I Have Always Wanted To Play Different Kinds Of Stuff, But It's Hard, First To Find Good Material, And Then To Change People's Perception Of You So They'll Let You Do It. I Mean, I Would Really Like To Play A Poet, But Once They Get This Notion Of You As A Street Guy, It's Hard To Change That.

If People Are Reacting To Films Based On Their Degree Of Success Or Failure, Then They're Not Really Looking At The Movie. I Don't Really Care About That. Everyone's Entitled To An Opinion, But At Least Base Your Opinion On The Merit Of The Work Itself.

I'm Not A Buddhist, Or A Card-carrying Member Of Any Religion.

It's Tough When You Started Out As Young As I Did To Look Back And See How Far I've Come. I Try To Be Easy On Myself And Go 'look Man, You Were Younger, You Were Learning; You Learn, You Grow.' But I'm Not My Best Judge. I Always Feel Like My Best Work Is Still Ahead Of Me.

One Of My Biggest Fears Is Not Being Able To Break Out Of A Rut; Of Becoming A Prisoner To My Ways, Unable To Change Course. But In My Mid-thirties, I Learned You Can Change Your Thinking.
