Everything I do now is about growing the pot to have more to give away.

Commodity exchanges have a lot of advantages. One, you are helping transparency. Two, they are not political. It's institutional building. It can survive any environment, in theory.

Possessing things is not that interesting. Living in a grand environment to show myself and others that I have wealth has zero appeal.

California is a place of invention, a place of courage, a place of vision, a place of the future. People who made California what it is were willing to take risks, think outside convention and build.

I grew up in a family that was multifaceted, sexually oriented, and pretty much open to everything. And because I was working, my friends were all adults. I had a tough time going to different schools because people knew me from films and I was the fat child who got beaten up every day.

We all started playing football against our best friends, and I can't remember a moment where, because it was my best friend, I did not want to win against him.

I think there are a lot more relationship scenes in my movies that people tend to overlook. A lot of scenes really feel real and are about the characters.

Why do people stay in relationships that are tough from almost the very beginning?
