I've been told that I'm a very different person on the set than I am in postproduction when the movie's over and I'm editing, in that I get so wound up in the film that I become selfless to the point where I lose too much weight.

I love my kids as individuals, not as a herd, and I do have a herd of children: I have seven kids.

I was making a lot of 8mm home movies, since I was twelve, making little dramas and comedies with the neighborhood kids.

Our one goal is to give the world a taste of peace, friendship and understanding. Through the visual arts, the art of celebration of life.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Jihadism have nothing to do with each other.

I always like to play with my kids. I always have the time to do that. That's my priority, always has been, so just interacting with my kids, and being with them is great.

The thing that I'm just scared to death of is that someday I'm going to wake up and bore somebody with a film.
