I'm a huge Coppola fan. But more of 'Apocalypse Now' and 'The Conversation.' 'The Godfather' for me is, like, number three or four on the list.

Through movies, I have met nearly everyone I have wanted to, except Woody Allen.

I used to spend a lot of time cutting out film posters from papers and putting them up on the wall in my room.

I don't know if I'd ever want to show my college life in the films I make. I think I've passed that stage long ago.

Politicians need a film appreciation course.

I love Back Stage. I have lots of theater friends and actors who depend on Back Stage.

I think about my films for a long time, maybe years, but I write them in days.
