You were raised a Christian, right?

"I grew up being told that God’s going to take care of everything. It doesn’t always work out that way and when it doesn’t, you’re then told it’s God’s will. I’ve got my issues, man – you don’t want to get me started!

"But, many people find in religion something to be very inspiring. I’ve personally found it very stifling as an individual – more focusing on what you can’t do than experiencing and discovering."

Working with Malick was just the latest step in a charmed career. You’ve worked with David Fincher, the Coen brothers, Terry Gilliam, Ridley Scott, Quentin Tarantino…

"I’m fortunate to surround myself with people that I trust. You know, Hollywood has this reputation for being cutthroat but I have met the most interesting, intelligent, lovely people."
