I spent a lot of time not in school, so I didn't have deep relationships with kids my own age.

Everybody reads for me. I was never weird about that. I never minded coming in and reading. They should know if I'm the right person, and I should know if I want to do a movie.

I've always had this idea that I wanted movies to make people better not worse.

Where I have problems is when I am in the midst of doing something that I am completely focused on, and then I am asked to buy shoes or something.

It's very important to distinguish between chemical depression that requires medication and talk therapy.

I didn't have any ambition to produce big mainstream popcorn movies.

You hold all of our futures in your hands. So you better make it good.
