I've never heard of anybody smoking a joint and going on a rampage. It makes you lie around on the floor and look at the ceiling. What's wrong with that?

Every character I play is me, always has been.

We didn't have a movie theatre until I was about nine, so I just didn't see them. But, once I got into movies I loved them.

Acting is playing - it's actually going out on a playground with the other kids and being in the game, and I need that. Writing satisfies that part of myself that longs to sit in my room and dream.

If you love somebody let them know every day.

I'm not sure that I'm really relevant as a director anymore. Or as a writer, either, to tell you the truth.

If Michelle Pfeiffer gave Mel Gibson a vial of blood to wear around his neck in a movie you'd think it was terribly romantic, everyone would cry and they'd win awards. But in real life if someone does that they'd be considered weird.
