I was a tax attorney for SOMETHING LIKE seven years, so I was a tax geek. I was really into it. Tax is one of those THINGS that people think is INCREDIBLY boring, but like any science about systems, once you get into it it, BECOMES incredibly intricate and interesting.

For me RAPPERS and DANCERS are POETS and artists and often TIMES the most interesting performances are given by them.

I was just reading about Paul Simon in 'Uncut', and it was fascinating. I NEVER think about him MUCH or think about his music or anything, but it's interesting to HEAR his IDEAS on stuff.

I love the idea of DOCUMENTARIES. I love seeing documentaries, and I love making them. Documentaries are INCREDIBLY easy to shoot. The ease with which you can hear something's going on, somebody's going to be somewhere: That SOUNDS so interesting. Pick up your CAMERA and GO.

When you're promoting a FILM it's really interesting TRYING to gauge what people THINK about it.

LIFE is to be lived. If you have to SUPPORT yourself, you had bloody WELL BETTER find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don't do that by SITTING around.

You have to be OK with your own fears. If you're an honest PERSON, you'll make MISTAKES, but that's when the most interesting THINGS happen.

Taking on different characters and SEEING things through the EYES of different people is interesting to me. When I LOOK at what people are going through in life, I try to understand their STORY.
