We all have at least two sides. The world we live in is a world of opposites. And the trick is to reconcile those opposing things. I've always liked both sides. In order to appreciate one you have to know the other. The more darkness you can gather up, the more light you can see too.

Script is not finished until it's finished. There's many times, partway through a film, when an idea comes, and I say, "How beautiful this is.
