All the crap that we've encumbered our lives with, it's really meaningless.

Film is an illusion. Fame is ephemeral. Faith and family are what endure.

We are all wonderful, beautiful wrecks. That's what connects us-that we're all broken, all beautifully imperfect.

You make a film and you don't know who it's going to appeal to.

My father is the Hollywood equivalent of a clean, fillet-brazed frame. My brother is like one of those fat-tubed aluminum Cannondales. I'm more like one of those Taiwanese Masis.

Since the beginning of time, every child on the planet has endeavored to please their parents.

You don’t choose a life, dad. You live one.
