I want my audience to say, "Wow, this is a film I'm benefiting from. I'm benefiting from what this filmmaker is trying to say." I'd always rather learn and be entertained than be entertained and feel myself getting dumber by the moment.

So many of us have our asses watching stupid reality shows, desensitizing our brains. Like, "Wow, isn't that dumb, but I'm so entertained right now! That's the stupidest thing I've seen in my life - give me more of it!" You know what I'm talking about. I turn on the television and I'm like, "This is so bad, but I cannot get my fucking eyes off of it." It's not good.

I have fun making films. I love making films. It's the only thing I know how to do. And I do it well.

I think it's very dangerous for an actor to take [shooting] too seriously because I think it could really damage you if you do that.

Different films have different places in people's lives. I don't get to see a lot of films, so I want to watch films I learn from.

I don't have a lot of time to surf the net and see what everyone's wearing.

I'm not really equipped to do anything else but making movies. In every other aspect of my life I'm a total failure.
