If you establish rules and play by them, the audience will buy in.

I want to make a film about a factory worker.

All the women are going around saying, "Oh, we're just friends, we're just friends," but the guy's going, "Yeah, we're friends, but as soon as she breaks up with her boyfriend, I'm hoping to move in."

When you're in love, you're asking someone else to fulfill all your unfulfilled needs, to make you whole, and to make you feel good about everything, and no one can do that.

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'd be fine if there weren't film festivals, and you just made your films and didn't have to do anything from that point on. That would be really great, wouldn't it? I don't know. I'm in kind of an aloof time, where I'm not taking anything too seriously.

If we're all going to die, shouldn't we be enjoying ourselves now?
