I love movies that are saying things that people might find odd at times. I don't find them odd at all. They give me comfort.

I can't not have something attached to like what actually happens in real life. Like I can't do a romantic comedy without there being something where like, in the case of Annie Hathaway's character, her character ends up having Parkinson's, you know? To me, I feel like that's love, you know? Like to me. So every movie has to have that kind of sense of that.

My experience on 'Jarhead' was life changing.

I promise that, one day, everything's going to be better for you.

Hardest emotion? They're all pretty damn hard; I don't know really if there's one specifically, but I do think, I don't know what's happening or what I'm feeling when I'm actually listening.

The truth is most of the films that make a lot of money no one remembers, and I'm not interested in making films that no one remembers.

I like that when you create you really do create with a very small group of people, and in that space, before it goes out to all these people, that's what I love.
