It's good to say, 'Look, I can't always be right, but my gut tells me this' - and then you confirm with your gut.

I used to feel competitive about a career, but now the only things I'm really passionate about are my family, the environment and Indians.

As an artist I just can't think of a better life than the one I've been blessed with. It's just a great ride.

If you could ever do a project that really has magic in it, and justifiable magic, you should do it.

I'm always moving forward and trying new things.

Politics right now is in a very dark place, and I think the only place for me is to do what I do - make films, create art, watch it as it evolves. Right now it's like Humpty Dumpty sitting on a wall, and a great fall is happening. The behavior seems to be really dumb.

[Making Ordinary People] was a wonderful experience. Tremendous. I haven't seen it since. It belongs to the public now; it no longer really belongs to me.
