Overnight stardom can be harmful to your mental health. Yeah. It has ruined a lot of people.

I mean, I've always been a libertarian. Leave everybody alone. Let everybody else do what they want. Just stay out of everybody else's hair.

It takes tremendous discipline to control the influence, the power you have over other people's lives.

My wife and I are both Libertarian; she was a Democrat and I was a Republican, and we both met in the middle somewhere.

None of the pictures I take a risk in cost a lot, so it doesn't take much for them to turn a profit. We don't deal in big budgets. We know what we want and we shoot it and we don't waste anything. I never understand these films that cost twenty, thirty million dollars when they could be made for half that. Maybe it's because no one cares. We care.

Improvise, Adapt and Overcome!

I don't necessarily look for dark themes; they just seem to appear.
