I don't blame the people for the fact that so many movies are bad. I think there's a corrupt, perverted, lazy and sloppy attitude that's pervasive in the movie business. The whole entertainment business is kind of crumbling around us.

One thing that stays pretty consistent for all my jobs is, I listen to a lot of music while I'm working.

Normally you read a screenplay - and I read a lot of them - and the characters don't feel like people. They feel like plot devices or cliches or stereotypes.

Actors didn't use to be celebrities. A hundred years ago, they put the theaters next to the brothels.

Your kisses are snowflakes: each one is unique. They land on me, before they melt away and leave me cold.

I lost you when you left me to find yourself.

I think, honestly, that the word 'indie' is a false gimmick. 'Independent' used to mean a movie that was financed outside corporate Hollywood, but a lot of what gets called independent these days is totally produced within that system. And there's nothing wrong with that.
