I read all the time. Sometimes I get asked if I've thought about writing a novel.

I really like my first movie a lot, "Kicking and Screaming." I think it's a - I'm very pleased and proud of that movie, but it wasn't the - it wasn't "Citizen Kane" right out of the box, you know? It wasn't "Sex, Lies and Videotape."

Being articulate, my parents could make anything sound reasonable.

When I meet certain filmmakers, sometimes you sit down and you do have some kind of shorthand. It can be fun to see them as someone who has been through similar experiences, but also as someone who just loves film. You can talk with them about films in a way that feels really free.

I think I was going through a lot of change at 27, but I didn't know it was happening until it was over.

A lot of black-and-white films generally have a color version that will be used for TV.

I always viewed life as material for a movie.
