It's disappointing to see films become pure entertainment, so that it's not an art form.

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

I did The Newton Boys and during the whole process of making the film, I may have spent a week in Los Angeles.

Your friends are really an extension of your vision of the world. It's kind of a physical manifestation of how you feel. Like your soul.

People think drama drives story, but I think the comedy is really the heart and soul.

As we know from our government, the more power you have, the more of a bureaucrat you are, and the more ego you have invested in being right, the greater the odds are that you will never change your opinion.

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