The hardest period for a writer is the period in-between writing. That's when you can go crazy if you don't allow the creative juices to flow.

If I only had 24 hours to live, I would spend the time telling everybody I love that I love them.

We're in this entertainment business really to give the audience what they want.

Sometimes when you're relegated to your neighborhood, you forget that there's more important things than your neighborhood going on out in the world.

You can measure films on box office success, or people lovin' the movie whenever they see it. That's what I measure my movies on. How much people love these movies after they get a chance to see them, no matter how they get a chance to see them.

That's always been my approach, to expose what's going on and what's not being said. I could go the selfish route, and probably make a whole lot more money, but that's not what it's about, it's about speaking for people who can't speak for themselves.

I could do an interview or just as well not do one. It's not like I'm looking for extra publicity.
