My job is going to be to direct the film - I'm going to do it. And that's where my job ends.

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.

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.

In the film business, it's basically honor among thieves.

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.

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

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