I look at going to Hollywood as going behind enemy lines. You parachute in, set up the explosion, then fly out before it goes off.

God, I just love baseball.

If you want to slice into America, it's pretty red, white, and blue in terms of how it goes about things, but there's a gray area there, and I've always been interested in where things are complicated.

San Franciscans are very proud of their city, and they should be. It’s the most beautiful place in the world.

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.

Any time I saw people treated unfairly because of race, creed, whatever - it struck a nerve.

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.
