If I knew that, I'd fall in love over and over again. Hearts aren't supposed to be mended. If you fall in love and it doesn't work out, you get a broken heart. What comes out of that will make you a better lover and partner next time.

On every movie I’ve done as a director, I look at the producers and having done it, I don’t envy them, at all.

I think we were the first picture to cut on Final Cut Pro. So we were the guinea pigs, because we got a deal on the system. But with that comes all sorts of technological problems I couldn't begin to describe.

But at the same time, never having final cut before, I really learned an interesting thing for any studio executive who is reading this: that if a director has final cut, it's actually easier and more interesting to listen to notes.

I only got to be able to act, because I gave myself a job as a producer.

My hunger and desperation, being an actor, an out of work actor - my memory of that is as fresh as an open wound.

Every movie is wildly different. So many of the problems are the same, but they take on different guises.
