My existence is about making movies, so I've just got to rock and roll with the punches. You want to make movies on telephones, I'm there.

I live with a bunch of yuppies and models.

The last day of your life is still going to be a day.

It's funny, the hardest thing to do is to make something look like it's fast, loose and improvised, and get somebody to laugh.

When I talk about drugs and alcohol, I'm talking about sex addiction, gambling addiction, eating addiction, throwing-up addiction. I'm not talking about mental illness.

I come from a world where you get the film done, that's a success.

I grew up in the '60s, which was a creative time, so it wasn't that big of a stretch to go from a baseball bat to a guitar to a film camera.
