I haven't read a review of one of my films for the best part of 10 years.

These movies are like my kids. I just love them to death. Some of them go to Harvard and some of them can barely graduate high school.

It always happens at the end that you're always under the gun because of various schedules and all that.

There is something about being a director where, for me personally, I get to . . . it's the closest I'll ever come to being able to be a stand up. And to use my particular sense of humor, and hear people laughing, without me having to stand up in front of an audience and tell jokes.

I'm an unusual director in that my cut is usually shorter then the final released film. I like short films.

I don't believe in leaving a scene in because it was really hard to shoot, or because it's the reason you took the movie, or because you always wanted to work with an actor . . . If it's not making the movie work, get rid of it.

We should all relax about life because you don't have a clue as to what's really going on.
