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

I was one of those avid moviegoers as a kid, and we didn't have video, so we went to see everything five times. I went to see every foreign film playing in my town. As times went on, I watched a lot less films. I have a different film school now. My film school now is my life experience.

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've only been to Dublin once, and I had a great time. I got completely soaked because it was rainy.

In the end, winning is sleeping better.

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.

I conducted a bunch of interviews for Interview magazine. They actually paid me. I think I was probably 18 or 19. I was in college and I remember feeling, like, "Wow." I had a real job, and they paid me money, and it was exciting.
