I think of myself as being a relatively intelligent man…
“I think of myself as being a relatively intelligent man who is open to a lot of different things and I think that questioning our purpose in life and the meaning of existence is something that we all go through at some point. I certainly believe that being in contact with one's spirit and nurturing one's spirit is as important as nurturing one's body and mind. We are three dimensional beings: body, mind, spirit. The movie operates on all three of those levels. It's not just entertainment for your body. It's not just titillation for your emotions. There's also some thought in it and I think that's one of the things that makes it really special.”
