I like to work in the morning. I like to sometimes go to a place where I'm all alone where I'm not going to get a phone call early that hurts my feelings, because once my feelings are hurt, I'm dead in the water.

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

Art depends on luck and talent.

The internet in hotels should be free - and I really resent it when they charge you five dollars for a bottle of water beside your bed.

I gladly, I voluntarily gave up the kind of commercial film career I had going as soon as I had enough money to finance my own films. I didn't make that money necessarily from the film business, but I eventually made a lot of money and that's what I do. Of course, I consider myself unbelievably fortunate, and I'm pretty content with my life.

If I have to be remembered for something, I want it remembered that I really liked children and was a good camp counselor.

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.
