We're consumers. We are by-products of a lifestyle obsession.

There's peace in understanding that I have only one life, here and now, and I'm responsible.

You are not the car you drive.

I grew up in Oklahoma and Missouri, and I just loved film. My folks would take us to the drive-in on summer nights, and we'd sit on the hood of the car. I just had this profound love for storytelling.

Success is a beast. And it actually puts the emphasis on the wrong thing. You get away with more instead of looking within.

The best moments can't be preconceived. I've spent a lot of time in editing rooms, and a scene can be technically perfect, with perfect delivery and facial expression and timing, and you remember all your lines, and it is dead.

I haven't known life to be any happier.
