The whole world has gone back to something we are genetically engineered to do - communicating through symbols.

The lifeblood of my career has been independent film.

Filmmaking, like sex, isn't a polite enterprise. It involves a lot of mess and the bottom line is, if somebody ain't screaming, you're not doing your job.

It is okay to fall, but not okay to stay on the ground.

No matter what it is, if you get 10 people in the business talking about something, you get 10 different opinions, but you know, they're amazingly well informed.

I'm a pretty quiet guy, but if people want to think of me as a lady killer, I guess that's good.

My second ex-wife was really kind of like a ship passing in the night. Only she turned out to be the Exxon Valdez.
