I was a literature major in college and that was my thing, books.

By the first week of shooting, you know exactly where your film is heading based on the psychology of your director.

I make movies about people in spiritual crisis because it's a way for me to spend the time, the energy, the focus and the obsession to come to terms with my own spiritual crisis.

All of the thinking and planning that you do to get there, and then, in one minute, in one second, it just doesn't matter. It goes out the window. You either got it or you didn't. There is something kind of refreshing about that.

We think, "If I have more money, I am more valuable. If I make more money, I am more valuable." It's all sort of wound up with this problem that humans have with their failure.

There is no direct evidence, so how could you ask me to believe in God.

I want to be inspiring to myself, to my kids, my family, and my friends.
