I don't blame folks for not wanting to put me in their movies or whatever. I understand if their audiences had an association with me.
There's an absolute prejudice that good movies are dramas and comedies are more dismissable. But I couldn't disagree more.
I was just watching baby videos of me and I was obviously an exhibitionist.
I'd been an actor my whole life, since I was a kid. And then, I quit for awhile and went to university. When I wanted to start acting again, I couldn't get a job, and that was really depressing. So, I realized, at that time, that I have to take responsibility for my own creativity.
I like making little videos and little records. I've always loved video cameras and four-track cassette recorders, still cameras, anything.
That is very different from how it used to be in the 20th century. Media was very one way. There's a small little industry. It broadcasted its message and everyone else in the world just had to listen. Now the internet is allowing what used to be a monologue to become a dialogue. I think that's healthy and actually restoring a more natural way.
It's a pretty intuitive process, picking the projects that I want to get involved with.
I just like to do work that inspires me, and I don't pay any attention to whether it's a high- or low-budget movie.
He loved me. He loves me not.
I tend to think having an impact on the world is a lot more complicated than government.
The doctor's wife ate two apples a day, just to be safe. But her husband kept coming home.
I'm ready for another adventure now, take me far away please! Ok one more... But then you have to read to me!
Your heart has a little empty corner. You won't even know I'm there -- I'll be very quiet.
I want to keep working with people that care about what they're doing. It seems obvious, but it's not. It's sometimes hard to keep on that track.
