When I was a boy, I would ask about my family history, about my bloodlines. We really didn't know that much. We had a little Indian in us from the Oklahoma Trail of Tears.

A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss... That's the trade-off. But I'll take it all.

It's a lovely experience walking around a museum by yourself.

Happiness is overrated. There has to be conflict in life.

I don't feel restless, I just like to travel.

By nature, I keep moving, man. My theory is, be the shark. You've just got to keep moving. You can't stop.

Deregulation created this epidemic of greed which according to the rules of capitalism was OK. Beyond that there was criminal behaviour. There have been no repercussions and it's hard to make your peace with.

I grew up on certain movies, particular movies that said something to me as a kid from Missouri, movies that showed me places I'd yet traveled, or different cultures, or explained something, or said something in a better way than I could ever say. I wanted to find the movies like that.

Man, when I'm riding with the helmet on, I'm invisible. And people just deal with me as the guy on the bike... it gives you a chance to read 'em.

Given a chance, I would like to work with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan because she's a versatile actor.

I'd like to design something like a city or a museum. I want to do something hands on rather than just play golf which is the sport of the religious right.

My affliction has been... I can make something or draw something or design something better than I can explain it.

I'm drawn to furniture design as complete architecture on a minor scale.
