Who is so deaf or so blind as is he that willfully will neither hear nor see?
When I was a teenager there was no video in my country. Betamax came to Mexico very slowly.
I love monsters. If I go to a church, I'm more interested in the gargoyles than the saints. I really don't care much about the idea of normal - that's very abstract to me. I think that perfection is practically unattainable but imperfection is right at hand. So that's why I love monsters: because they represent a side of us we should actually embrace and celebrate.
In a world where we are so pragmatic and materialistic, fear is the only emotion that allows even a sophisticated person to believe in something beyond.
If you're not operating on an instinctive level, you're not an artist. . . . Reason over emotion is bullshit, absolute bullshit. . . We suffocate ourselves in rules. I find fantasy liberating.
You can always go back to not making any money, and then you get the freedom. And I'm going to continue doing it, because it really is a fantastic sense of liberation.
The butterfly does not look back upon its caterpillar self, either fondly or wistfully; it simply flies on.
I don't look to play people that are familiar. I look to play people that are different, challenge, unknown, foreign, and therefore scary.
I wasn't born with enough middle fingers
The years since the Nobel Prize have been productive ones for me.
I started using drugs when I was thirteen. By twenty-one, I was shooting up coke and heroin. In my early twenties, I unconsciously used asana to make the "getter" inside me stronger. Sure, I got a hit of the yoga high - serenity at the end of class - but how sustainable is that if you're holding grudges against yourself or others?
