“When you look at women who have had plastic surgery, they have lost something – usually an expression, something unique to their face.”

I feel so fortunate. I was brought up along the beaches in Southern California, and then got to have horses.

I’m getting to the place where I can sort of go through airports now and there’s no hysteria. I can go places alone even. But at the same time, if you get in trouble, you can find somebody in your age group who might recognize you.

I found my love when I was 17-years-old and my love is one hundred percent honest. We’ve never had any ugly, rocky things to overcome.

In California, I guess you belong to the state; you don’t even belong to your parents. It’s an old Spanish law. It doesn’t require your parents to swear out a complaint; anybody can.

It’s so easy to conform and to follow. It’s very difficult to be rebellious and live by what you believe is right. And to make decisions and to take the consequences. Very few people do.

I love Spain. I go back two or three times a year usually to visit friends and ride horses.

I grew up on the beaches of Southern California surfing and sailing and I’ve always loved horses so it was part of my dream that I was able to fulfill to have horses.

10′ was amazing! I had no career before ’10’ and then all of a sudden I was able to do pretty much whatever I was able to do in the business.

I hate to run. I never, ever run.

Glorifying violence is terrible. Simulating sex is nothing – it’s something so impersonal really.

When you trust your director completely, then you can relax, be spontaneous, be malleable.

I grew up on the beaches, and I always found it kind of funny that it’s considered decent if you cover three tiny spots with pieces of fabric.

You could be as vulgar as you want, as long as three tiny spots were covered.

Probably some of the projects I chose to do after that had more to do with what people thought of me. The industry was very open and probably hoping that I could do anything.

Horses are a symbol of America and can be marketed that way overseas.

In the studio the director controls the actor’s every move, every inflection, every expression.

Cantona’s expression speaking the whole French dictionary without saying a word.

What frustrated me was the thought that with three thousand years of history someone in China, some monk in a monastery halfway up a mountain, must have developed a magic kata.

Jazz vision for me is seeing my art in musical term. It offers me an visual expressions in an ever-changing musical palette.

And in a repressed society, artists fulfil a sense of harking back to instant gratification, or immediate expression, by doing things that function on the edge of society, or outside of what is conventionally accepted.

I think we have to stop using the expression “alt-right.” It’s ridiculous. It’s racist, fascist, nationalist.

Everything you do counts forever. You are an expression of the whole process of creation; you are a cocreator.

Do you know why language manifests itself the way it does in my work? It’s because I understand short attention spans.
