You've got to go after your dreams. If you don't make an effort, nothing's ever going to change.

The foolishness of chasing the moon ached my heart. I was stuck between the moon and the shore and surrounded by an empty sea.

I never played a musical instrument growing up but I knew kids who did and took it very seriously.

Once a year my back will go out and it'll be... it's like a sciatic thing and it's the smallest thing. Like I could be leaning over the sink to brush my teeth in a weird way and it happens.

I want to do movies that I'm proud of where my kids, at some point, can see and I can feel comfortable sitting there watching it with them. And just that move people. That make people feel a little bit better about themselves when they leave the theatre.

If you are not learning, you are not living.

Every time you make a decision, you mess with someone's life.
