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

I think that directing is the ultimate martyred task of filmmaking, that it has nobility to it. It takes three years to make a film, for the most part. I think it requires the attentiveness of a mother hen. I don't know how people raise children and direct films. I'm sorry, I don't know, how can you be good at both?

You can only be a virgin once. There can only be one first time.

As an actor, you hope to obtain this mind meld and sometimes I feel like I'm chasing a horse holding on to its tail and getting dragged, and other times I feel much more velcroed into the saddle. And I'm not the knower of which is better or best as a process, it's just as random as the weather in terms of what my subjective experience is.

I know I've made the right decision when I've followed my heart.

I want to sit down, and I want to laugh. Nothing works better for me than watching somebody slip on a banana peel.

Blessings come in disguise. And challenges can be a blessing.
