As soon as we fall in love and we realise we've met the one the rest of our lives can't come soon enough. It's not like you're in a rush to get to the finish line, you're in a rush to feel and experience everything and then do it all again.

I don't do well with modern films, to be honest. Opening credits, and I'm just gone.

The idea of directing a film is a strange one for me. I feel anti-mathematical, in a way, in that sense. I don't like when things make sense. I prefer if they don't.

I'm not 'Blockbuster Boy.' I never wanted to be. I wasn't looking for that.

When you realize you're essentially you're God, there ain't nothing on earth more powerful than you, you can do anything you want.

I was definitely never a crowd pleaser.

Here I was going to work with Pacino thinking, "I'm not going to get lucky twice. There's no way. This guy is going to hand me my ass." He looks like the kind of guy who's going to hand you your ass. It's Al Pacino.
