Robert De Niro... It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to put his name on my resume next.

Netflix is something I watch.

I'm intrigued by the dark. Out of darkness comes creation.

Disneyland is supposed to be the happiest place on Earth and I have to say when I'm riding around in that crazy Space Mountain ride I'm happy.

I am attracted to the dark side of life!

Enjoy it while it lasts.

I keep pushing buttons and trying to grow as a person and as a filmmaker.

I try not to have high expectations of people because it just sets you up for disappointment, but it's great to work with actors who are that talented and accomplished.

I like to go from mainstream movies to more artsy films. I don't sign on for the money. Maybe I should, but I don't. There's always a good reason for doing something.

I'm trying to fight typecasting as hard as I can, while I have time.

Do not believe in a god who is as silly, and meaner than you. For, that would surely be your higher-self, and your stupid alter-ego.

I don't have technique because I never learnt any.

I love vegan choices, raw food choices, and I’ll eat whatever I have to in order to get into whatever shape I need to get into for any one particular role.

Jayne Anne Phillips . . . is at the height of her powers in Lark and Termite. . . . This is a major novel from one of America's finest writers.

I don't like to trash talk... I don't know how to do that, it's not me. In the martial arts world that I was brought up it was all about respect.

Being part of a community with a church at its centre and singin' hymns is a great thing to do.
