I try to stay in a constant state of confusion just because of the expression it leaves on my face.

I've always been frightened of karaoke, so I've never tried it. Karaoke scares the hell out of me!

There's a drive in me that won't allow me to do certain things that are easy.

I don't want to run around and look at a shot through a monitor. That doesn't improve what I'm trying to do. I figure, once I've done my job, it's none of my business.

I think the thing to do is enjoy the ride while you're on it.

I still love the layers of cinema whether it's 35mm or 16mm or 8mm, super 8 which I love. I love the grain. If I had my druthers I'd film everything in kodachrome.
