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.

I get to the point where I feel relaxed, and then I just shoot a ton of material and make a lot of different choices.

I have three women in the house. I get to be wrong three times a day.

If we try to define our own moral universe, there's a price for that.

There's a lot of noise in the world, and the internet magnifies that energy.

Sure, I suffered a lot. But it's not like the end of the world and it's not who I am. I lead quite a pleasant life and I'm able to divorce a perceived reality from my actual experience of life.

It's much nicer to be praised than to be damned. But you have to have a certain sense of your own priorities and ideas about what works and what doesn't because otherwise, if you're just looking for eternal validation all the time, you can be motivated by the wrong things and I don't think it's as personally satisfying in your own work.
