Movies work, in my opinion, on the best level when they're more enigmatic, when we don't say it's this or that and where it raises more questions than answers.

I haven't made anything I don't believe in. I've always started a movie with a song in my heart, and even when I'm a little unclear about it, something magical happens and it comes into focus in a way that I'm feeling good about.

I've gotten pretty good at leaving characters on the set. I go home and try to relax and regroup and be ready for the next day.

All movies on some level can aspire to be more than just whatever the label is of the movie.

I was always shocked when I went to the doctor's office and they did my X-ray and didn't find that I had eight more ribs than I should have or that my blood was the color green.

I don't know if my wife left me because of my drinking or I started drinking 'cause my wife left me.
