I think happy and hope is more hopeful when you acknowledge that there's awful things too.

We're living in a time period where if a kid is on a plastic scooter that's one inch off the ground, mom and dad think he should have a helmet on. I don't think they should have a helmet on. They should break their leg and have an imagination. Otherwise, we're going to have a nation of accountants.

I think happy and hope is more hopeful when you acknowledge that there's awful things too.

I never say "Action" or "Cut." Never. I think that would disturb the life from happening in and around everything.

It's hard for me to say you have to accept that the world is meaningless and the landscape is there before and after. That's not something we learn much in our culture growing up.

Most of the projects aren't that interesting anymore. There used to be a day when the studios made amazing films, and they were about human beings.

You have to let life come and go.
