I never got into 'MacGyver,' but 'All the President's Men' and 'The Conversation' were big for me.

My favorite films are the ones that I walk away from and I know I saw a story.

I don't spend a lot of time in nature. Probably less than most people that live in urban Texas.

I don't believe that narrative works when it's trying to teach a lesson or speak a factual truth.

I have a really, really hard time sitting down and watching a TV show, except I'm apparently willing to watch the same episode of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,' like, seven times.

I've always been anxious about 'Primer.' There's good things about it, but all I've seen for a long time is the flaws.

I love to work. It's the idea of having someone else tell you how to make your film or how to sell it - that's the part I can't really deal with. I would rather do 1,000 things that are work than deal with one thing that's a political problem.
