- “The problem is that the people with the most ridiculous ideas are always the people who are most certain of them.”

- “I try to live in the moment, every moment.”
- “I think people are always looking for a good time, but there’s a difference between a good time and depravity. To me, a good time happens when everything is subtle. You don’t even know if it’s happening or not because that’s when you’re really in the moment.”
- “I’m very much against trophy hunting. I just don’t think people should get their thrills from killing animals.”

- “I’m very concerned for the future of the earth and its amazing creatures. We’ve got to be careful and make sure we don’t foul our own nest.”
- “It’s one thing to not want to make the world a worse place. It’s another thing to want to make the world a better place.”
- “I’m not sure I want to be an actor. I love doing it, but there are so many other things I love doing too. My sense of accomplishment seems almost totally tied to my writing, not my acting.”
