You've got to remember that films don't lead the way. People think that films are trying to lead society. Mostly, they're reflecting the moods and thoughts that are going on in the country or around the world.

I enjoy going on motorcycle trips and stopping in small towns and enjoying drinks with the locals.

There is a strange pecking order among actors. Theatre actors look down on film actors, who look down on TV actors. Thank God for reality shows, or we wouldn't have anybody to look down on.

Ninety percent of films are pretty mediocre, but they have a built-in audience and open on 3,000 screens.

I just found out about 10 days ago that I must live 300 or 400 yards from Britney Spears... so now I have to move.

I'm interested in making films that ask questions and don't particularly provide answers.

Honestly, as you can imagine, it really isn't all that fun directing yourself, running back and forth to the monitors to see if you're terrible or not.
