I think we've unplugged and become very apathetic to a lot of things that are happening. There's so much going on and we're sort of disconnected.

The more we can be honest about ourselves as filmmakers, than the more we can be honest with people who see the films.

Film is such a powerful medium. It can really affect change; you can affect so many different people in different ways.

Sorry, there´s no magic bullet. You gotta eat healthy and live healthy to be healthy and look healthy. End of story.

One of my beliefs as a filmmaker is that if you can make somebody laugh, you can make them listen. With laughter, you can get somebody's guard down, you can open them up to listening to you. They don't feel like they're being preached to or talked down to. I think it helps, it makes really hard to understand information a little more accessible and palatable. And at the end of the day, it makes a movie a little more fun. It doesn't feel so heavy handed.

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.

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