Even if you're a poet sitting in your room writing a poem, you're still in the world - although I guess being a poet is a different than having to deal with 40 or 50 people to raise a couple million bucks and all that bullshit.

I'm in a house where if the washing machine shuts off, it sings a song. If iPad gets a message, it sings a song. I'm living in a real postmodern time - every single thing sings to you to tell you it's started, it's stopped, you've got a message, you didn't get a message.

There's a difference between the world ending tomorrow and just drinking and drugging yourself to death.

But I'm never gonna get to a point in my life where what it costs to shoot a movie is going to determine what it is. The limits of my imagination is the only thing that's gonna stop me.

A lifetime isn't long enough to learn how to make films.

I'm not a big fan of talking about dying. And then I make a movie where I kill everybody.

That's the thing about making a movie: You never finish editing. They just take it away from you.
