I want to make movies that people talk about when they leave the theater, that aren't clear-cut, but effective and fulfilling in some sense.

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

You know, social issue movies don't make a lot of money.

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.
