I had the standard movie geek childhood, because for as long as I can remember, all I wanted to do was make movies.

I didn't have any desire I might have had 10 years ago to shoot every single word that I wrote.

I guess what I like in my movies is where you see a character change by maybe two degrees as opposed to the traditional movie change of ninety degrees. I guess that always feels false to me in movies because that doesn't truly happen. Around me, at least in the life I live, I guess I don't see people change ninety or a hundred degrees. I see them change in very small increments. I think it's just a monitor I might have on myself as a writer to not make any false scenes.

As I have got older and become a father, there's less and less time for films.

I don't want to be the angry guy.

I have a feeling, one of those gut feelings, that I'll make pretty good movies the rest of my life.

Crazy is so hard to play, there's nothing you can really tell an actor.
