A few years ago, I decided I wanted to be home with my family.

I don't think I've ever had a plan or direction for myself. I've actually made decisions based more on what I didn't want to do than what I wanted to do.

On the last couple of movies I made - big-budget Hollywood movies - I really missed being able to create my own material.

Well, whether it's on film or on TV, you don't want to throw too many curves at your audio and video guys.

Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.

I think that I recall the nostalgic '50s: the start of early television and rock-and-roll, and I think everything seemed to get very generic. Not much has changed.

And we had the perhaps unfair advantage of not having to worry about what an audience was gonna think. We were in a vacuum. We were making little short films, really.
