Tightness gets in the way of everything, except tightness.
Whenever you're the child of a famous person, you get judged in odd ways because of that.
I've produced a couple of films and really enjoyed starting it from the very beginning and seeing it all the way through to the end; that was very gratifying.
As far as Beau is concerned, we're on the same team, we root for each other. If my parts are slightly more attractive, or are perceived that way by others, he's very content.
With a labyrinth, you make a choice to go in - and once you've chosen, around and around you go. But you always find your way to the center.
Everyone I meet is in my sangha. I don't know if that's the proper definition, but that's the way I'm going to hold it in my mind.
I've gone out of my way to not take baggage with me from film to film.
