Christianity takes this beating that I really don't understand and yet you can't say anything negative about the Muslims because that's horrible, you can't say anything negative about other faiths.

I told Clooney, George, you’re worth $100 million — of course you can afford to be a socialist!

I don't understand why Christians are taking such a bashing...and why do we glorify people that do destructive things?

I'm lucky to be alive. It took three years of therapy to recover but I did it.

The hardest thing is never what you think it's going to be.

I don't exist without writing.

I believe photography is about choosing to live, being brave. Looking is an act of courage. It's terrifying. It's possible to see too much, to witness things that we cannot hold.

I felt sometimes too responsible as an actor because people promote violence or weird things that I don't want to be part of.

It's not that I ever sat down and outlined a trilogy, but I always have a sense of what size an idea is when I start it.
