I'm all about freedom in art. I'm from Texas, so when someone tells you which way to ride your horse, you think 'I'll just go to a different ranch. You guys are riding it backwards anyway.

Everyone applauds each other's success in Hollywood because they know how tough it is, but it really comes down fundamentally to the process.

I like to keep my budgets at a certain price when I work for someone else, and even more so now that I'm working for myself, and use new technologies to deliver films that look like they have high production levels.

Everything I've done has always been my own made up world with its own rules and its own made up stories.

If you create a good story that has a lot of story value I think audiences like that. It's why they stick with the same TV show over and over.

I wish I could freeze time or go back in time and watch my kids grow up all over again because it is just going by too fast.

Tell everyone that your mistakes are art. You can get away with a lot that way.
