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

There is no pleasure that I haven't actually made myself sick on.

When you read, you think, and when you smoke, you think. It's a pleasurable thing, and not a duty.

I like to come to the set with very strong ideas and strong opinions about how to do things. And I like also dealing with somebody who's like that.

I've seen a lot of friends who have a lot of great projects, whether it's a script or a play or whatever, and it is a great project and they have great people involved, and they can't make it.

If I'm directing actors, I learn about acting that way. If I'm acting, I learn about directing that way. Producing is just something that's come about because there's projects I find interesting that I would like to help get done.

People actually live with their id exposed. They're not good at concealing what's going on inside.
