History is so fleeting and we are so busy consuming media and the contemporary culture, voraciously gobbling it up, that we have no room to look back ever, and our young people have a tough time looking back.

All good ideas start out as bad ideas, that's why it takes so long.

I had no choice. It was just something that happened. I was always looking for ways to act out, and I got a camera and it acted out for me.

The internet is watching us now. If they want to. They can see what sites you visit. In the future, television will be watching us, and customizing itself to what it knows about us. The thrilling thing is, that will make us feel we're part of the medium. The scary thing is, we'll lose our right to privacy. An ad will appear in the air around us, talking directly to us.

I had to get over my fear of running through the world naked and learn to say 'take me or leave me.'

I was a scared kid... I think I was born a nervous wreck, and I think movies were one way to find a way transferring my own private horrors to everyone else's lives. It was less of an escape and more of an exorcism.

Fathering is a major job, but I need both things in my life: my job to be a director, and my kids to direct me.
