I look back at my career when I was younger and can connect what I was going through at the time with the characters I was playing. I see the similarities in them reflecting on my life.

But now I really don't want to work unless I really, really care about a project.

All the movies that I make in some ways have to be the story of my life. There are different chapters in my life.

I wish people could get over the hang-up of subtitles, although at the same time, you know, that's kind of why I'm kind of pro dubbing.

Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from.

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

If I make two movies my entire life, and they're two movies that - whether they make a lot of money or two people go to see them - they speak of me, then I consider them incredibly successful. I don't need to be Steven Spielberg.
