I am obsessively bent on quality - to an unhealthy degree.
You never know when I might decide to work in a Bollywood film and do one of those dance numbers with the whole crew in the backdrop.
Certainly the attrition rate of Hollywood couples looms large.
I didn't realize how interesting the place I come from is until I left home and saw how other cultures handled things differently.
Plan B is really a little garage band of three people, and our mandate has been to help get difficult material, that might not otherwise get made, to the screen and to work with directors we respect.
If I'm gonna spend however long it takes to make a movie, give up 14 hours a day for however many weeks or months, then it's very important for me to know that I'm working with people who I respect and enjoy and that we're going for something together.
It's those difficult times that inform the next wonderful time, and it's a series of trade-offs, of events, of wins and losses.
You want to stake your own claim. You don't want to be called a copycat.
What's valuable to me has become clearer as I've got older. To me, it's about the value of your time and your day and the value of the people you spend it with.
Given a chance, I would like to work with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan because she's a versatile actor.
Actions speak louder than words, and it's no more true than with your kids.
I'm sure they're saddened by me, and I get frustrated with them. But I love them, and at the end of the day if they need me or if they need anything, I'm there for them. Family.
My kids are just waiting for me at home. I'm their father. They're wondering, 'When's Daddy coming home?'
I feel like I have to share whatever I can. You're culpable if you don't act.
Religion works. I know there's comfort there, a crash pad. It's something to explain the world and tell you there is something bigger than you, and it is going to be alright in the end. It works because it's comforting.
How many stories have you read that aren't true, stories about me and Angie being married or fighting or splitting up? And when we don't split up, there's a whole new round that we've made up and we're back together again!
Where I grew up - we started out in Oklahoma and then moved to Missouri - it was considered hubris to talk about yourself. And the downside of that was that ideas rarely got exchanged, or true feelings.
'The Assassination of Jesse James' remains one of my favorite films that I've done. You know, it's still labeled a loser.
I'm much more experienced now, so I can find films that are interesting quicker and cut out the films that don't really matter. It means more to me now because my kids are going to see them, and I want them to be proud.
You hear stories of intense actors who can't shed their character and who don't know who they are for a week or two after. I'm not that guy, man.
