I produce but I'm producing work that I can be in.

I started producing out of necessity. It's not that I want to become a full time producer, but it gives me control over my creative life.

I can be out auditioning but a lot of times it's word of mouth more than anything - having worked on other projects with people who might see you and recommend for other projects and vice versa.

Like the whole DOGMA thing, screenings, bringing people together. I love when I hear that people I've brought together are working on projects.

I'm just like anyone else. I have ideals that I grasp onto but I try not to grasp on too tightly and to be open to other people's thoughts and opinions even if they're completely different than mine.

You see these actor/director relationships in the celebrity world and you understand why. The director knows which buttons to push and it makes it so much more familiarized.

I like working alone. I feel freer, less constrained. I know what I have to do and I try to do it. There are no superficial hangups.

We are bodies, sometimes with dreams and always with desires.

Once you stop learning, you start dying

When people warned me there would be long periods out of work if I became an actor, I couldn't keep a straight face because that was exactly what I had in mind.

I don't have slim children. I have hearty ones.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is just to stay human.

The Bible says not to worry so I don't. I just get up in the morning and ask God for help to get through the day. If tomorrow shows up then I'll take the same shot tomorrow.

When I am tempted to complain about God's lack of presence, I remind myself that God has much more reason to complain about my lack of presence.

It is better to repent a sin than regret the loss of a pleasure.

It's "Merry Christmas" at our house. Whatever it is at yours, have a happy one. And be good to somebody.
