I think it's important to have a good sense of humor and joke around with your kids. That's what I do a lot.

I don't like to move the camera that much anyway.

If you find that thing you love, it doesn't necessarily matter whether you do it well or not-you just need to do it.

I love directing - it's always so involving, so challenging.

[Hollywood] studios are handing out money to make independent films now, but they all want the same thing. They want the style and the deadpan delivery of RESERVOIR DOGS or FARGO and so they imitate those movies. They want PULP FICTION, but they get it all wrong! They get the detachment, but that's it. And then it's all about style, and in the end what do you learn about the characters? Nothing. You learn you wasted two hours.

People wear shorts to the Broadway theater. There should be a law against that.

Whatever the best scripts are and you just want to play roles that you can really sink your teeth into. That's always the goal no matter if it's a good guy or a bad guy, or a comedy, or a drama. It doesn't matter, you just want something that's substantial you can sink your teeth into and that you haven't done before, something that's really going to challenge you.
