It's hard to see a film one time and really "get it," and write fully and intelligently about it. That's a review. That's not film criticism.

My sisters would swear that I was the spoiled kid who got everything he wanted, and I would go "No way! I worked my ass off and you guys got everything." We're all kind of in our own narratives.

I think maybe making films is something innate you can't really teach to begin with.

I'm lucky that I get to jump around, do a big-budget comedy and then a smaller film. I don't even make a big distinction between them. No one believes this, but it's the same. I'm the same person, trying to make it work. I just love being on a movie set. I like making movies.

I worked offshore as an oil worker for a couple of years.

No one is asking what happened to all the homeless. No one cares, because it's easier to get on the subway and not be accosted.

I can't help but think that at the end of your life, when you look back, there'll be a tone. And that tone will come from the essence of how you live your day to day what you did in that between time because that is really your life.
