You're being mean to someone who's helping you. What is that? Everyone knows who the assholes are, and I avoid them.

A real litmus test for me is how people treat someone who is waiting on them. That's a dealbreaker for me.If I were on the verge of getting into a serious relationship and I saw that person be mean to a waiter... I'm out.

My first three movies, I didn't start editing until we were finished shooting. That's unthinkable to me now.

If you're sitting around thinking what other people think about your work, you'll just become paralysed.
