I hate a movie that will end by telling you that the first thing you should do is learn to love yourself. That is so insulting and condescending, and so meaningless. My characters don't learn to love each other or themselves.

I was trying to figure out what a memory feels like.

I have a tendency to hire people who tend to be unattractive to the studios. Maybe this is a bad idea.

I can never watch anything I've been involved in, because I know it, and I know what the making of it was like, and I know what's been cut out and changed. I just know it.

My time on the set is the least of my involvement. Most of my time is in pre-production and post-production.

I have ideas written down some places, but usually I can't find them. I'm not very organized.

Everything I've written is personal - it's the only way I know how to write.
