I think you should be serious about what you do because this is it. This is the only life you've got.

Vanity is something that will only get in the way of doing your best work, and ultimately if you're truly vain you care more about your work than how you look in your work. I actually consider myself a pretty vain guy when it comes to that.

I didn't have any idea that I would be able to have a career in film.

Good work is the only thing that would make me feel jealous or envious.

My soul is in good shape.

When you see the carrot at the end of the stick, what do you do to get it? These kinds of things that come up, that come up in the story of Capote writing "In Cold Blood," and when you see the movie, you'll see what I'm talking about.
