If you look closely at a tree you'll notice it's knots and dead branches, just like our bodies. What we learn is that beauty and imperfection go together wonderfully.

Having a studio tell you when to jump and how high eight months of the year for six years is not a relationship I want to get into again.

Filmmaking is always sort of building a mosaic of this arc of what the character is going through.

A job is something we do to get a paycheck and pay our bills. Jobs are legitimate, at times, but work is why we are here in the universe. Work and calling often go together.

I'm either going to have the career I want doing films, or I'll do something else - I'll be gone.

To create is always to learn, to begin over, to begin at zero.
