Happiness is overrated. There has to be conflict in life.

I believe you make your day. You make your life. So much of it is all perception, and this is the form that I built for myself. I have to accept it and work within those compounds, and it's up to me.

I've never in my life said I didn't want to have children. I did and I do and I will!

I'd say that 'Tree of Life' is not a Christian so much as a spiritual film.

I was so intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn't living an interesting life myself.

I start asking a lot of questions about my own life, and it's not necessarily fun, but it's a good exercise.
