Death is a billion-dollar business. They can't even pass a law where it takes seven days to get a gun. Why don't you have to go through the same kind of screening you do to get a driver's license? It's totally insane.

I'm a paranoid schizophrenic. I am my own entourage!

These guys who talk about free markets, they're not ideologues; they're crooks.

I never really saw myself as an activist but at some point the activist is the only moral position to take.

I feel like I'm a filmmaker; I don't feel I need to yell 'action' and 'cut.'

I think being self-referential is really narcissistic. Who's to say anybody's even thinking of you that much? But some of these movies that I've done, people still recite lines to me, even 20 years later.

I don't agonize over decisions as much these days. The criteria of what's important to me is clear.
