It's only in hindsight that you realize what indeed your childhood was really like.
I loved school. I studied like crazy. I was a Class A nerd.
In order for me to have fun, I have to be able to not be buttoned down.
All of my heroes, like Dali, are people who pioneered various forms of cinema.
Some people are better at handling the limelight than others.
I used to eat lunch with Billy Wilder when I first came out here.
When I visit new places, I like to see the markets.
I see people as being what their personality is at the moment of expression.
Some people are angels sent to you by God at your weakest moments.
Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity.
My paintings are not about what is seen. They are about what is known forever in the mind.
My paintings are certainly nonobjective. They're just horizontal lines.
The unvarnished truth is that we have spent the last decade funding the machinery of war, and our children have been sacrificed.
No one can be a painter unless he cares for painting above all else.
Something I learned very early on in my career is that there are a lot of things that you do not have any power over.
Kids now are so used to surround sound and the power in theater speakers, that the concert hall is a disappointment to them.
I really learned how to act on camera through 'Power Rangers' because I hadn't done a lot of film and TV.
For a human audience, seeing things that are slightly more otherworldly and beyond human power is always really fun and exciting to watch.
I'd like to make really important movies, like American Beauty. I was really proud to be a part of that movie.
I always appreciated the magnitude of my mother's imagination. She always saw beauty in what was broken, and she'd preserve it.
I'd like to be rich. I'd like a lot of money to put into my physicals and to buy food for all my friends.
