It's taken me 15 years to step behind a camera and make something everyone agrees looks like a movie.

It's like a dream come true. When somebody is paying you to talk about yourself, you've won.

I'm always cribbing from real life. I'm not a very creative filmmaker.

I'm not even supposed to be here today.

There's something to be said for failing. It's not the failure you feel, it's the failure that people project when something disappoints. You're back to ground zero, where there's no expectations, and that's where I like to be.

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.

I say what other people won't.
