My first film goes into production in October. It's called White Boy Shuffle and it's based on a novel about a young black kid and it's sort of reminiscent of Catcher in the Rye.

On his daughter, Ava: She is a relief from all the stress in my life; everyday she does something new and it is so amazing.

Divorce was the darkest, saddest place I had ever been. It was a struggle - there were a good four or five months of not being able to get out of bed. It was the worst time in my life. You get through it. It's a process that's not easy, but I get less and less sad about it every day.

I won't make a movie for money ever again.

There was a time - before I made movies - when I was more forgiving, but now that I've learned as much as I have, I want to do movies that I want to see, that have their own unique flavor.

Tarantino's movies, I really enjoy, certainly, and when I was 19 and 20, I was really into them.

I am miserable when I'm in a movie I'm not proud of and a movie that I don't want to do.
