“The ocean is such a huge, beautiful thing that I feel like we all take for granted.”

The older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve realized what a true friend really is. So my friendship circle has changed a bit.

The teenage years are ridiculously crucial and hard and, um, awkward.

Animals in general have always been my passion, project, crusade – whatever you want to call it!

I don’t know if I’ve ever been in a clique.

My philosophy with my career is mostly to just mix it up with a little bit of everything in moderation. And that’s what makes my job so great.

No matter where you are or where you grow up, you always go through the same awkward moments of being a teenager and growing up and trying to figure out who you are.

I don’t have a TV at my house. I literally do not. I have a television, but I don’t have anything plugged into it, though. I watch DVDs.

Don’t worry about everything and really enjoy the moment.

Is that I get to constantly do different things, put on different hats, be different people, and mixing up the genre really lends itself to that.

Whether it’s teaching me a new way to cut on a wave or teach me a three-point conversion or teach me how to dribble a soccer ball. There’s something really cool about that.

Whereas if you have the chance to create and produce your next movie that keeps you busier, it gives you more options and hopefully enables you to make the type of movies you’re passionate about.

In general I like a guy who is athletic, somebody who can teach me something.

I was never part of that cliquey girl drama. Most of my friends were guys growing up, so I was never part of that whole toxic energy. It seemed like way too much hassle.

Seeing my face on a poster is surreal. You look at it and it’s not quite like you, if you know what I mean… it’s almost a third person kind of thing. I still find it strange.

I think dates considered super corny and cheesy – whether it’s going bowling or miniature golf or something where you can be competitive and just have fun with each other – those always make the most memorable dates!

In my own personal time, horror films freak me out too much, so I tend to steer clear of watching horror films on my own.

I feel what is really great about Pusher is that it wasn’t about drugs and guns and strippers. That was just all circumstantial.

People think you are an orphan when you are a child, and don’t believe that old people can feel that they are orphans.

I don’t have the feeling of being motivated by anger, revenge or frustration.

Good cinema is good cinema. It makes you feel like you need to work.

Sometimes I feel sad, but this is not nostalgia, because I don’t want time to come back.

Men who believe that, through some exceptional grace or good fortune, they have found God, feel little need of culture.

It is unwise to feel too much if we think too little.

Happiness is being on the beam with life – to feel the pull of life
