It was easy not to think of my future; I didn't have one.

I've created a narrative of the world. I live in the world - tenuously, most times. I've avoided the digital world.

Some men get the world, some men get ex-hookers and a trip to Arizona. You're in with the former, but my God I don't envy the blood on your conscience.

All I want to do is make serious movies that explore social issues and turn a profit, and slip the schnitzel to Jane DePugh.

I wanted to portray a newly democratized, enclosed society. I wanted to show how extraordinarily fluid people are in their embrace of other human beings.

I'm grateful for the life I have. I lived bad for many years, and I've got a great life now. I've got the kind of life people only dream about.

I like to be alone so I can write. But focus can hurt you. I don't want to be some stress casualty in early middle age.
