The minute you start caring about what other people think, is the minute you stop being yourself.

What makes you different or weird, that's your strength.

I never look a gift horse in the mouth. And I've been really, really lucky. I'm aware of that. And my career has been given to me by the people I've worked with, no question. The actors, the directors, the cinematographers, the writers, all of whom gave me the opportunity to work in the way that I have and I'm really grateful.

I'm older. There's some sort of seniority. As a matter of fact, the seniority ebbs as you get older.

If you have been touched by the success fairy, people think you know why. People think success breeds enlightenment and you are duty-bound to spread around like manure. Fertilize those young minds!

People want what they want. Sometimes you just have to walk in defiance of it and just be yourself.

I don't really talk about my process very much, because I feel like if I give something away, it might not come back.
