There's a little thing on your shoulder called intuition and it whispers in your ear. Everyone has that, there is a voice telling you to do something. Most people ignore it - but you must listen to it. I do it every day, all day.

I think movies are getting dumber, actually. Where it used to be 50/50, now it`s 3% good, 97% stupid.

If I have to, I'll go and direct theater and talk till the cows come home.

I do like to make films with a political theme, but sometimes it's nice simply to make people laugh. That's the hardest thing to do in fact.

I want to make films about the human condition, what we're doing to the world or ourselves.

My career seems to be a career of non-specific subjects which are all over the place.
