I try to stay friends with everybody because you might go back and work with somebody who you had a horrible experience with and it could be great the next time. You never know which way it's going to go, never say never.

Short answers seem like you don't care even if you are trying to answer. I get the same flack for my short texting.

One of the main things when you get notes from a studio is they don't want anyone to be confused ever, everything has got to be so obvious at all times unless it's a twist ending.

Once you feel like you're being dictated by other people's expectations, it usually backfires.

Every time I make a movie I have too many characters and too many locations.

I know when something is done and when it isn't. There's been times working on movies when they [moviemakers] lock in a release date and so you're stuck to that schedule. But sometimes you're still editing and you feel like you're not really done, but they're sort of releasing the movie anyway - that's kind of depressing.

I have always found clowns really fascinating, especially on film. Even as a kid I was never scared of them.
