The advice I give to every filmmaker is you have to be tenacious. You can't give up.

I think that there are certain guns that, of course, I don't know who needs a machine gun, personally. But I think rifles and things like that are fine. I think that in the wrong hand is when a gun becomes a problem.

I don't know. I have incredible amounts of hope that things can change. It takes people who believe.

I think that's one of the biggest goals I had in making a movie, was listening to what other people had to say.

I don't go into a movie with preconceived notions of where I want things to go.

My mother did an incredible job - one, of just being a great mom, but two, of instilling a tremendous amount of empathy into me as a young man, as a young person. My mom was kind of this collector of people; throughout my childhood, it didn't matter who you were. She was a high school counselor and then a junior high counselor, and she didn't just counsel students, she counseled other teachers and administrators and coaches.
