I grew up interested in the underside of Hollywood, which I think David Lynch does really well.

Movies are a commitment. They take years of your life and they have big consequences. That's one of the bad things about movies - you're stuck with the aftermath.

There's absolutely no point in beating yourself up. Focus on going forward.

At any age you can start over. You have to drop the idea of where you should be in your career. And you have to do without a lot of love. Not everyone's going to love you.

It's hard when your first thing is something everyone loves. Actually, that never happened to me. I was lucky that my first film, which is actually the best reviewed of all my films, didn't have that success.

I'm not trying to make the world a better place.

I realized you can always make money; you just do a lot of things.
