It takes one asshole to ruin the whole thing. That's it. One. The problem with the world is one asshole comes up with a really bad idea and now we're all taking our shoes off at the airport.

My father, who was the one who really got me hooked on movies, liked all kinds of films, and I saw all kinds of films at a very young age.

I make every movie like it's the last one. "If this was the last movie, what decision would I make?" That's how I make my decisions.

It's become absolutely horrible the way the people with the money decide they can fart in the kitchen.

We all get outraged by things and there are things that make us angry and maybe for a while we get angry enough to actually go do something about it.

I feel I need to really think about whether there's a way to use what skill I have to address things that outrage me, like the 13 year old girl getting stoned to death. Because I don't think making a movie is going to help that, or change that.

The key is, if youre not monkeying around with the script, then everything usually goes pretty well.
