If, you know, all your life you're making films or whatever, and somehow along the way you lose meaning in whatever you're doing when you're making the films, they're just not the same as they used to be to you.

You get to a certain age and it really occurs to you: "My mother and my father will not always be here. My spouse or my girlfriend or boyfriend are here right now, but someday they won't be." You realize that you need to like yourself.

I just want to scream: "I'm being honest, I swear!" Maybe it's embarrassing, but I don't care anymore.

It's hard to force a relationship with a stranger even if they happen to be someone you happen to share blood with.

I guess that in a lot of ways, my writing is more of a character to me than something that I feel personally attached to.
