I have friends who remember seeing fish hauled onto a boat's deck and beaten to death.

I'm tired of playing the brat.

In a movie we try to deceive. In theaters, as they say, the deceived are the wisest.

I read the book and I think, "Well, this is the movie we're going to make," and then someone else reads it, and they take a completely different movie from it. And both are valid.

If you show up in L.A. with your shirt inside out or socks mismatched, people start putting change in your cup.

What is acceptable in our culture, I think, is really detrimental. I think we ought to have a little more ownership over the kind of material and the content that we put in front of people, especially young people.

I think that the movies I do are the ones that I really like the least. I don't like watching them because of that problem.
