I'm not a bad parent and partner, even if I make a thousand mistakes.

If people knew what made hits they'd make more of them, so to have the illusion of control over one's career isn't something I can even pretend to have.

I loved acting, I started as a child and it is interesting because I didn't compare myself to others that were doing the same thing. I just felt that I needed to stay focused and stay out of trouble.

I wish I could always look like I've just finished a really good laugh.

I think certainly directing is a visual medium, but it's also about communication, and a lot of times great directors are lacking in communication skills, which is rather shocking to discover that.

So now I'm left with cigarettes, and I'm trying to scrape that off my shoe and then I'll be done.

When I really young yet feeling very old, I offered up a lot of myself to the press; I knew it was good copy.
