Sometimes the world seems like a big hole. You spend all your life shouting down it and all you hear are echoes of some idiot yelling nonsense down a hole.

When so much money is involved in these movies, someone somewhere is going to try to screw you.

I'm really good in a crisis, because I don't panic.

There just is exponentially more money in the movie business than in the music business. As a result there are more people involved in the creative process.

I'm so busy trying to breathe through the pain that I'm breathing through the pain of being with people, and that is no way to spend a life. Eventually, they'll just go away, because you will make them sad. That's something I've proven quite adept at doing over the years.

I find that truly heartbreaking that, like, it's such a common, constant thing in people's lives - a brutal abuse of people by other people, and it's just accepted.

A long December and there's reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last.
