My nature is happy. And all I can control is my response to input. If you come around me and tell me bad news all the time, I can say, "You know what? I don't want to hear it." If its just gossip, you know, I can choose not to hear it. And that, in effect, can control my mood.

I believe L. Ron Hubbard resolved the human mind, and in resolving it he has also resolved human pain - that's what I really think has happened here.

I have to believe there's some other life force out there. I don't know in what form. But we can't have all these galaxies and universes without something going on.

I try to balance independent films with commercial films, and I've done a pretty good job of it over the years.

In my own life if I knew I was going to pass away I'd love to sit down and resolve every issue so I could go peacefully.

You gotta learn to laugh, it's the way to true love.

I will direct one day, but I have a feeling that it will be very limited.
