I suppose that's my one little secret, the secret of my success.

I didn't work very much when they were young, and I had the luxury to be able to do that. Most people can't.

I'd prefer not to act in the film I'm directing. I think, though, as an actor, you do learn how to turn things on and off quickly and kind of compartmentalize. You learn to accommodate the camera and the other actors, to notice where the boom is and where you mark is, and be able to repeat something a few times.

There is no doubt that each of us is born an individual. Why is it then that so many of us die carbon copies?

It's very hard for me to get a new car. It's really hard for me to get a new house. It's really hard for me to move on from the things that give me stability.

If I fail, at least I will have failed my way.

I like to be in a different place when I make a movie so that I can't really focus on anything else, and that is your world.
