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

The rules of parenting have changed. By the modern definition, we were a generation of neglected children.

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.

When you're trying to get laid, everything's great, but once you've been with someone eight years and the future is not finite, you have time to sit and really examine every little thing that irritates you.

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.

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.

I've always liked the minds of criminals, they seem similar to artists.
