I always end up taking people that are morally ambiguous.

You can find the richness in any moment, even the most seemingly bleak. To try to do a movie about that was a joyful experience. So actually, it was really the context of it that made the experience so worthwhile, rather than the actual subject matter, if that makes sense.

I feel the film companies should pay for proper advertising to see that the movie will sell, instead of putting it on our backs.

When somebody on a professional scale says "you did it wrong," it has a pretty intense impact. If you don't have some kind of opposing force to say, "that's all right, that's their opinion," or, "I may have screwed that one up but I'll do better the next time," then you're screwed.

My limits are limitless. I find my limits every time I act.

I have never indulged our society's misguided notion that my personal life is relevant to my work, so any reporting surrounding that is necessarily hearsay, speculation or fantasy.

A man tells his stories so many times that he becomes the stories. They live on after him, and in that way he becomes immortal.
