I have three sisters and I've always wanted a brother, so I was really interested in that notion.

The idea of being in a hugely successful movie that I don't like would be just as bad as being in a film that I love that no one sees. I wouldn't want the kind of success that felt cheap or that I didn't own.

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.

The world's gotten smaller by virtue of the Internet and new media.

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

I only want to make movies I want to see. That may mean my career is somewhat limited, but that is my version of integrity. No matter how it performs or how it's received, I can be okay with it.

I've made 30-plus films over 20 years. And in my opinion, five of them are good.
