I think luck gets you on to the stage. But it has nothing to do with keeping you there.

I wasn't going to be a college kid. The only subject I was interested in was English. I think I had a subconscious interest in analyzing story.

Throw your children in the surf and let them get used to it. They have to learn all about rips and tides and swimming between the flags and all that sort of stuff. I know that sounds ridiculous but it's true.

It's always bitterly disappointing to people to see how normally one can live.

I'm not into bikinis or other revealing clothing.

The only thing that may make me different from other people is I have passionate interests outside of work.

I've had frustrated storytelling juices that have been lying dormant for a long time, and I guess the documentary was a way of me telling a story that I felt most qualified to tell. And I loved it, and I'd love to do something else someday, probably more narrative-based. But I'm in no rush.
