I would love to be in Kansas.

I feel the only way I'm going to be successful in moving on is if I keep a separation.

I can be on the Tonight Show, but not with Johnny [Carson]. He uses my name in his monologue all the time.

I remember one play [when I was kid] was about this murderous mad scientist, and my whole part was to be the guy who got thrown into a vat of acid as the curtain went up. I was very pissed off at these older kids; they'd outsmarted me.

I think there's a danger that some people look at the success of my first movie as a fluke. So I want to make sure that my second film is an even bigger success. Then if I direct my third movie and it's terrible, it'll be okay.

People read so much into what I do. It's fascinating to me because some of it's probably there, but I haven't thought of it.

I probably have become more infamous from two misdemeanors than probably anyone I could think of.
