Life
"I don't want to go bald, I don't know what's coming up next."
Want

Film
"As a rule it usually takes three or four readings for me to be interested in a script, and if I'm interested I'll read it three or four times before I make a strong decision."

Change
"I've been around horses, but I certainly wouldn't call myself a horseman by any means. It's a combination of being very aware of them, and not trusting them."
Being
"Frankly, my politics are pretty left of left."
