Acting is a lot easier than people think it is.

I always wanted 'Sideways' to be like a great 1960s Italian film.

As the years go by and I make more films, I am increasingly interested in capturing place as a vivid backdrop for my films.

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

I think cynicism lasts. Sentimentality ages, dates quickly.

Hollywood films have become a cesspool of formula and it's up to us to try to change it... I feel like a preacher! But it's really true. I feel personally responsible for the future of American cinema. Me personally.

A book suggests a whole world and story that I could have never thought of in a million years.
