I love research and being educated. It's a great job being able to step into all kinds of professions and into other people's shoes.

I remember my father telling me that just like Troy, he could get me in with the water department where he worked in New York. He talked about how he could get me on the job, and if I stayed 25 years, I could probably work my way up to be a supervisor and how it was a good union and all of the benefits and that I was going to make $20,000 in 50 years or whatever it was. He couldn't see that far.

Dreams without goals, are just dreams and they ultimately fuel disappointment.

I'm a logic monster, if things don't make sense I gotta make sense of them.

As the filmmaker, yes, I have to look out for everybody. But I don't have to know everybody's approach.

The lessons I learned in Sunday School have kept me on track

A man once told me that you step out of your door in the morning, and you are already in trouble. The only question is are you on top of that trouble or not?
