If someone is talking to you and tells you that you ought to do something, and you can tell they mean it, those are the scary people. Those are the people you want to watch out for.

I figured I would have to tell someone to kiss my ass before it was all over, and I have -- twice.

I've led a very eclectic life.

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.

People think you have to be tortured or miserable to write, but I'm finding that I get inspired a lot more these days before I'm happy.

Directing takes a good chunk of your life out. It's a very hard thing. As an actor, you go in for a couple of months and do your job, and then you move onto another one. As a director, it's with you for quite some time and you're responsible for the entire thing, whether the results are good or bad, or whether people throw darts at you or put you on a pedestal.
