I dont walk around chuckling all the time. My outlook is very bleak. Its worse than bleak, its apocalyptic.

The interesting thing about something in the back of your mind is that it can travel pretty far back in your mind.

I guess I can picture things once they're done - I just can't picture actually doing them.

One of the things that struck me as unique about Hollywood is that I never had bad meetings. There were all enthusiastic, but meaninglessly enthusiastic.

When you are a child, you often stare too closely at the wrong thing. I remember the first time I was taken to Yankee Stadium. Someone had spilled something sweet earlier in the day and the ground was covered with ants. I spent the whole game staring at the ants, and that was more fascinating than the game.

My idea with my work is always to fashion something that's impossible to transpose into any other media.

Actually what's worse than a dog's mouth is a cat's mouth. They're not dirtier per se, but they have sharper teeth, so they are much more likely to go deep, should they bite you.
