We are so vocal about what we hate.

It's hard to explaining exactly what happened, but I felt in that moment that the divine, however we may choose to define such a thing, surely dwells as much in the concrete and taxi cabs as it does in the rivers, lakes, and mountains. Grace, I realized, is neither time nor place dependent. All we need is the right soundtrack.

And as a filmmaker, I'm trying to unhook myself from this idea that unless you have a brilliant, long, enormously lucrative theatrical run, that your movie somehow failed. And I don't believe that.

It never made sense to me that someone would achieve any kind of success in show business, only to become a jerk.

I feel comfortable with women. I have two sisters, so I grew up in a female-dominated environment.

My trick is the trick that everyone knows: Work really hard and prepare.

All of the things I used to obsess over, I'm no longer as obsessed with. I have new concerns but they're a little more existential or cosmic.
