There's a trick to being whatever you want to be in life. It starts with the simple belief that you are what or who you say you are.

I try never to worry in general. Worry is interest paid in advance on a debt that never comes due.

For years, my job was to make the movie inexpensively. And I could bring it in. What I can't control are the costs of marketing.

When are you people going to learn? It's not about who's right or wrong. No denomination's nailed it yet, because they're all too self-righteous to realize that it doesn't matter what you have faith in, just that you have faith. Your hearts are in the right place, but your brains need to wake up. I have issues with anyone who treats faith as a burden instead of a blessing. You people don't celebrate your faith; you mourn it.

Don't let anybody tell you different, man: The main goal in life careerwise should always be to try to get paid to simply be yourself.

Haven't two hundred years of failed missionary work overseas taught anybody anything? You can't convert people to anything - whether religion, or something as inane as our flicks.

All these people who say success changes people; well, no, it just magnifies what's there.
