My three wishes I would ask a genie to grant are: More hours in the day, the ability to remember everything I read, and the ability to speak every language.

If I could be any film character it would be: The Dude.

The best advice I ever received was: Nothing grows in comfort.

My proudest achievement to date is: My two beautiful kids. Winning an Academy Award was pretty cool too.

If I could have dinner with anyone, living or dead, it would be: Hunter S. Thompson.
