Relationships are the only thing that matter in business in life.

Talented people have to do what they do. Someone can criticize but you do what you do.

It’s been the structure of my life: you scheme and plan and try and fail and try again and accumulate and lose and win back, and then you tell.

Do not get attatched to the world as it is. Because the world is changing something new is coming.

If asked my philosophy, it would be simply this: Savor life, don't press too hard, don't worry too much.

I do characters. I believe in that. I think people are interesting. Now, everybody that you meet in New York City thinks that their life is a movie.

The best thing that happened from that situation when I failed was the fact that I failed and I failed because I was trying to do things that I don't like to do. I like to make movies and I like the creative process. I don't really care about the business end of it. It's not my thing. So I was all of sudden totally immersed in the business end of it and dealing with human resources, lawyers, and accountants, and so on. It wasn't for me.
