The nicer I am, the more people think I'm lying.

At the times in my life when I was feeling the most gregarious and looking for bosom friendships, I couldn't find any takers, so that exactly when I was alone was when I felt the most like not being alone... I became a loner in my own mind... I decided I'd rather be alone.

I never met a pet I didn't like.

The most exciting thing is not doing it. If you fall in love with someone and never do it, it's much more exciting.

Don't think about making art, just get it done.

People sometimes say that the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually, it's the way things happen to you in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like you're watching television -- you don't feel anything.

Success is when the checks don’t bounce.
