Working hard is great, being lazy sometimes is great, but failed potential is the worst.

I just wanna get to the end of the day without it raining.

I make little movies, you know, they need all the help that they can get.

Most of us... are simply just trying to get through the day. And wait for those times in their life that are markers, that put things into relief. That's why we like movies and books so much.

Most of the time for me, you're learning what not to do, as opposed to what to do. You never know what to do. I don't, especially in a work environment. You have a little formula yourself. But when I see a director do something I think, whatever he or she just said totally screwed that actor up and now they're worse. I'm never going to do that. I'm going to figure out something else. I want my movie to be good. And that's how it works.

I had been to New Mexico many times. I loved it. It's a very exotic, interesting, severely crazy environment. I don't know if I could live there all year. It's such an intense place.

As you get older, I think everyone feels that, no matter what the job: to try a hand at running the business as opposed to simply being an employee.
