When I was coming up, if you were on a TV show, that meant something was wrong with your career. Now it means something's right with your career.

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.

People's attention spans are a little shorter these days. Same thing with food and movies.

I think my stuff's kind of obsolete now, you know? I'm making Model Ts or something, and everybody else is making spaceships.

LA has its own vibe. It has a charm that a lot of people overlook sometimes.

People always like stories about the little guy fighting the big guy.

Movies these days have made killers into funny people. What's that all about? I've got kids and family and friends, and I don't like bad things. I don't think they're funny, and it's irresponsible to make movies that don't show you how that's not good.
