I bring to my life a certain amount of mess.

Art depends on luck and talent.

Collaboration is like the sex of creativity.

Sequels are not done for the audience or cinema or the filmmakers. It's for the distributor. The film becomes a brand.

I was a pretty shy, lonely kid. I blossomed about age 17, when I went to college.

I just admire people like Woody Allen, who every year writes an original screenplay. It's astonishing. I always wished that I could do that.

I've been failing for, like, ten or eleven years. When it turns, it'll turn. Right now I'm just trying to squeeze through a very tight financial period, get the movie out, and put my things in order.
