I've never been a guy who had more than a toe in Hollywood anyway, so my toe is more easily lopped off than most.

Something about Texas I'm not proud of is that our state murdered 37 people last year alone.

It's luck that one thing works out and one doesn't, it's sort of happenstance.

I'm so happy and relieved for the indie spirited film world because ... I don't even know if it's indie, it's just alternative cinema that's just different than what the studios are doing and it's a big variety in that category. Everyone always is complaining about the film industry but I think it's important to acknowledge when it's actually a pretty good time when that comes back around. I'd be remiss not to say, "Hey, it's a pretty good era right now for these reasons," and maybe that doesn't last or maybe it does, but I will acknowledge it.

Memory is a wonderful thing if you don't have to deal with the past.

Yeah, a memory's never finished, if you really think about it.

You make a film and you can't really pick the way it's put to the public. You control the content, but the way it's marketed, or the poster, or what they're telling the public about the film, it's beyond you. Some people don't even see them, because they think they already know it. That can be frustrating, when something you've done is marketed in a way you think is antithetical to what it is.
