I think my love of journalizing my life comes from my mom.
When I was really young, my mom enrolled me in dance classes.
For me, growing up, the downside of it was that as a kid you don't want to stand out. You don't want to have a famous father let alone get a job because of your famous father, you know? But I'm a product of nepotism. That's how I got my foot in the door, through my dad.
I don't have too much time to jam with the rest of Hollywood.
You don't want to vilify your ego.
When you start to engage with your creative processes, it shakes up all your impulses, and they all kind of inform one another.
It's like that perfection thing, trying to be that thing you're not. You have to feel that discomfort and not try to get rid of it. Accept that aspect and get into it. Acknowledge those feelings and let them be. You are who you are.
I do a lot of ceramics.
Everyone I meet is in my sangha. I don't know if that's the proper definition, but that's the way I'm going to hold it in my mind.
Always maintain a joyful mind. Appreciate the struggles as opportunities to wake up.
Memories are not just about the past. They determine our future.
You can change things, you can make things better.
Making a film, it uses a certain... 'pretend-muscle,' I don't know what you want to call it. It exhausts something in me, I find. It has to be really something to get me interested.
I don't really consider myself one of those actors who takes his work home with him.
