It's my experience that endings are never easy, and I think I'm not alone among filmmakers or writers in this.

Gay marriage is a complete red herring to distract everyone from the economy and the war and health care and education.

The religion itself may have some great ideas, but I can't take it seriously if it's blatantly exclusionary.

Every day, when my feet hit the ground, I have a story that I'm telling myself that I choose to make a positive story. I know people who don't do that, and there's a heavy energy around them. So I guess there's that kind of hustling.

The cinema that I make is a cinema about people, emotion, humanity and passion. It's not just about what they struggle through, but what they live for. That's what I love. The music they love, the people they love, the clothing, the hair and the life that they love

The idea that anyone would think their religious ideas make them morally superior is just preposterous.
