I don't get nervous when I'm directing a play. It's not like acting.

My mum's name is Marilyn O'Connor. She's here tonight and I would like if you see her for you to congratulate her because she brought up four kids alone and she deserves congratulations for that.

I've grown to really love musicals, you know?

My mum is incredibly intelligent.

I think Magnolia is one of the best films I've ever seen and I can say that straight and out and anybody that disagrees with me I'll fight you to the death. I just think it is one of the greatest films I've ever been in and ever seen.

I know I wasn't as handsome as some other guys, but I was OK with that.

The strange thing is I never thought I'd do films.
