We're really all alone. We can't ever get inside another person's spirit, and see the world they do. So we are alone in that sense. The only way we have to communicate feelings is through words.

If you feel you have a film that's valid, you stick your ass on the line.

Just because your wife schmoozes with somebody too much, you can't go throwing the kids out with the bath water! And that's the way the law's tied up right now.

We all go through life and say a lot of things that we don't really mean.

You do come to a point where you can get your life in control a bit. But going through life, you discover these deep, dark things in yourself that you can’t run away from, so you have to learn to embrace them. I mean, the difference between a murderer and myself is only that I choose not to do it. But I’m capable.

Everything has a purpose, even this, and it's up to you to find it.

It's failure, really, that you grow by, although nobody likes to experience it.
