Sometimes the way you respond to horrific, evil deeds is the measure of one's self as a man, as a nation, as people, as a community.

Look, just go sit at the card table with the rest of the kids and let the adults run the country.

The lifeblood of my career has been independent film.

I was able to lean on people for favors and things to help out because their budget was so low. It was half of what John Travolta's perk package is on a film. Our whole budget was half of what his staff makes on a film.

My attitude about Hollywood is that I wouldn't walk across the street to pull one of those executives out of the snow if he was bleeding to death. Not unless I was paid for it. None of them ever did me any favors.

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

The press is like a big bass, you just stick a hook in their mouth and they'll take it.
