I think paranoia goes from generation to generation. It's convenient to imagine that there's a few people controlling everything, that way it's manageable and small. But that's not life, life is messy.

There is unpanned gold in every soul you run into, no matter what walk of life they are from.

I loved it, it's such fun. I like that people are seeing it and then talking about it. Like when I took my son and his friends to see Napoleon Dynamite last year, we spent the next six weeks trying to explain it.

Look, even bad years are pretty good years I think.

If you're doing a drama that has some comedic elements you can't forget that it's primarily a very serious film that has some light relief.

My old man had a philosophy: peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy.

I guess the issue for me is to keep things dynamic.
