No matter what you're doing, if you're trying to make a movie, you need to be working with people that are really good and who make you better.

It doesn't matter how you get knocked down in life, because that's going to happen. All that matters is that you gotta get up.

I'm in the worst place you can be. I sell magazines and not movie tickets.

You wasted $150,000 on an education you could have got for a buck fifty in late charges at the public library.

I try to cast really good actors and give them a chance to do their very best work, give them as much time and space as they need.

You're basically the sum of all the experiences you've ever had, and they're sort of shaken up in you and reproduced in the things you create, and that includes seeing movies.

Sometimes the people we meet change us forever.
