They say living well is the best revenge but sometimes writing well is even better.

I view filmmaking as a director's medium.

I guess it's ironic. I just did the Gucci cologne ad, and I was the cologne thief in junior high.

I feel there are so many things in this world that have been and are being created that I could spend the rest of my life thinking about, and I couldn't cover all the things I'm interested in. That to me is what makes life sweet-learning and exploring.

I've come to a point where I just want to do movies that I just believe in. I have come to an understanding of filmmaking, a new understanding where I believe it's a director's medium. That means working with people that I believe in.
