Being in the business and growing up in L.A., I think I turned out pretty OK.

I'm my own person, and am trying to carve out a career on my own.

I really like Gwyneth Paltrow a lot, as far as her career, because I think she's done a lot of small movies but she's also done great, big movies, and she's a really great actress.

New York is a fun place to shoot, but it's definitely hectic.

I get very homesick, but otherwise it's a great privilege to get to travel for work.

I find 'True Grit' to be one of the very best American novels: It is a rousing adventure story and deeply perceptive about the makeup of the American character.

It was one of my dreams as a child, growing up in my little village with my cousins. We used to walk together, and I used to say, when you look at the world map, 'This town is there, that town is there, that river is there.' I used to say, 'One day, I'm going to travel these places.'

My primary goal of hacking was the intellectual curiosity, the seduction of adventure.
