I think you can have a whole terrific, smart career as a second and third banana and work more and have much less risk than the lead guy. But I like being the lead guy.

I feel like we were married from the moment we sat down there.

I started out with this dream of being a director and doing cinematography and bought my first film camera at 15.

One of the things I love about directing is I love actors, because no matter how complex they are, once you get down to working and talking to them and the toughest guy will want you to open them up and he wants to show you stuff he was afraid to show anybody before.

I was raised in a family where no one had a serious bone in their body and every answer was a riddle, a joke, or a prank.

I almost became a music major, but somehow I was so enthralled with the camera and becoming a director that I stuck with film school and theatrics.

Any girl that's got a $500,000 table and $5 shoes, I'm in love with.
