The biggest fear I have is to die with regrets, and of course that will come true.

I definitely in filmmaking more and more find writing and directing a means to harvest material for editing. It's all about editing.

In real life, I myself am kind of a rambling guy. I like to travel.

Somewhat dramatic things happen, and you don't even always notice them — that's what life is.

I still have energy and some degree of youth, which is what a filmmaker needs.

When you're a houseguest and you leave, it's nice to straighten something up or send your hosts a useful gift. And when you leave the planet, it's nice to have made a positive contribution.

The worst thing for people to say about your movies is, "Yeah, it was pretty good, but it was too damn long.".
