I've had loss in my life, and I like to think my mother's energy lives on in some faintly Buddhist way. I do find some comfort there.

I just try to live my life every day by doing the right thing.

I think people like to be scared. I think people like tension and suspense in a movie.

I think my Buddhist practice has a profound influence on my life and encompasses my creative projects.

My background was fairly conservative, and I think there's a strong notion of duty in a background like that, and I don't think that's always helpful.

I had no ambition to go to America and be in a TV show. It's not like I've rejected something or decided that I've found something better. Your life just takes you off in strange and different directions.
