I don't think the way to succeed is by doing something aggressive. Aggression is weak-minded.

I'm not aggressive by nature and it was tough for me to make the transition to directing.

I guess I've never really been aggressive, although almost everybody else in show business fights and gouges and knees to get where they want to be.

Whatever I am, it's natural... I don't have to pretend to be aggressive, don't have to show the opposition that I am on the field. Being aggressive comes naturally to me, helps me perform.

I've always been a very passionate, sometimes overly emotional person. Sometimes things affect me more than they should.

I think that maybe that's my weakness, in that I don't know how to do it, so I just do what I do and try to do it as passionately and as well as I can.

I understand aggressiveness in only one way: being prepared to hurt yourself, not someone else.

I have not been aggressive in my pursuit of being a star. I've never had a plan. Maybe I need to be more aggressive, because it's quite tough!

I use the word 'passion' a lot when I talk to young people. In every pursuit I've been on, I've had a lot of passion behind it. It continues to motivate me every day on what I like to do and where I'm going.
