I feel a terrifically painful disturbance in the natural law of things between men and women that must be balanced in the next few thousand years. What has been done in the name of holding up masculine energy as God and feminine energy as subservient has really wiped out everything.

I love my friends. I love my love-life. I love my hobbies. I love eating.

I've made some great movies. 'Risky Business' still stands up. It's timeless. They study that film in film school.

I think there's a knowingness in my face.

I think I'm well on the way of overcoming a very big hurdle that's been in my way for several years. Which is trying to find a way to not let the insecurity of my profession get the better of me and make me crazy. I'm trying to find a way to maintain my own personal balance in the midst of everything.

I grew up in Europe, and I used to like those very slow-moving European films. I've been contaminated by the American TV culture, and I just want things to move faster now.

I just want to tell stories that have an impact on people. Somebody needs to have an impact because people are lost. People are really lost.
