One of the things that's really lousy about making movies is that you have such little interaction with your audience.

I feel like everyone I meet is an imaginary friend. I don't know. The older I get the more I wonder what's real.

For me, the real goal is to integrate. The thing that I'm most happy with is the fact that I've been able to keep doing all of it - to keep writing, and to keep acting in movies, and to keep acting on the stage, to keep directing plays. I find that they feed each other, and that I learn about acting from directing and I learn about writing from acting.

Nothing teaches you like getting leveled. And I got leveled in my early 30s. Nothing went exactly the way I thought it would.

It was never in my dreams to make my personal life anybody else's business.

I take pleasure in the little things. Double cheeseburgers, those are good, the sky ten minutes before it rains,the moment your laugh turns into a cackle. And I sit here, and smoke my Camel straights, and I ride my own melt.

Everything is so finite but that’s what makes our time and specific moments so important.
