Every single decision I make about what material I do, what I'm putting out in the world, is because of my children.

I have a theory that movies operate on the level of dreams, where you dream yourself.

Wrinkled, wrinkled little star... hope they never see the scars.

If you make the tough decisions, people will hate you today. But they will thank you for generations.
