When you act obnoxious towards people, like on a movie set, they say "we're ready for you" and I say "oh, go to hell, my feet hurt and my head aches." You want to have a margarita for lunch, and people like these little ADs and production assistants are like, "well, he's drinking again."

I realized the more fun I had, the more relaxed I was working, the better I worked.

Every pizza is a personal pizza if you try hard and believe in yourself.

I'm a nut, but not just a nut.

The way financing for independent movies goes is great. You get the money from the guy who's actually doing the distribution in France. You say, "Do you want a piece of this movie?" And he's got to sell this movie to get his money back. That's the brains of it; that's the genius of this financing. "You want Germany? Give us a million dollars and you've got Germany."

Well it's hard to be yourself, it's the hardest job there is.

If you have a good script, that's what gets you involved. It's harder to write a good screenplay than to find something.
