The only thing I can do is act, but it's not something I even feel comfortable doing. It costs me a lot, because I'm a shy person, even if I don't look it.
All of the good movies are based on how that story was told. And you cannot do it with a bad script, that's for sure, no matter who.
I don't really care where movies come from as long as they're worth making.
I do respect people's faith, but I don't respect their manipulation of that faith in order to create fear and control.
I have a man and a woman in the same body; I have the male and female values in the same body.

I don't know how to drive a car.
