Science fiction was never my thing. I have no interest in it.

Loud, stupid and overeating will suffice as long as we also have the funny, the fierce and the intellectual

Kathy Bates is sexy. It's partly because of her talent, but she's got a great face, and a great laugh.

I try and shoot as often as I can, I cross shoot. I have at least two cameras rolling at the same time. So I'll have two actors or two sets of actors at a time so everybody's basically on camera. So when they improvise we have everybody's coverage. And you can then go in the editing room and find the energy still stays there.

My cousin Jerry Lucey and five other firefighters died in a warehouse fire in Worcester, Mass. - my hometown - right in the middle of our old neighborhood downtown when a homeless couple started a fire to keep warm and the entire building went up. My cousin died trying to save homeless people who had already left the building.
