I do like having books on my shelves. I do value that life.

I thought at the time of my parents' divorce that I was upset by deeper, more profound things and I was just taking it out on the joint custody agreement. But that disruption was bad enough. That was a huge deal for a teenager.

I didn't train in directing; I talk to actors the way I talk to anybody.

I'm a huge proponent of therapy and analysis, but it's something that, in a nonprofessional way, can be abused.

It's kind of a crazy art form, movies, in that you have to get it right the day you do it, generally.

I watch movies all the time, so it's hard to pick certain specific directors that have inspired me in the aggregate.

I like having associations with locations beyond their meaning for the specific movie.
