It's hard not to get depressed when you pay attention to the world and how strangely and corrupt the people in it sometimes behave.

To be an artist, you don't have to compose music or paint or be in the movies or write books. It's just a way of living. It has to do with paying attention, remembering, filtering what you see and answering back, participating in life.

I grew up with horses when I was a kid in Argentina. I like them. I respect them. I'm careful around them. You never know what they're going to do. They're endlessly interesting. I've had some good acting partners that were horses over the years.

'The Road' was a movie that has a good reputation, even though it wasn't released very well, but that's a movie I'm very proud of.
