The making of the movie and the routine of making the movie is a lot like being in a Spanish prison for five years on a marijuana breakdown.

Every time I go to a movie, it's magic, no matter what the movie's about.

I never felt comfortable with myself, because I was never part of the majority. I always felt awkward and shy and on the outside of the momentum of my friends' lives.

I've always been interested in UFOs.

Audiences are harder to please if you're just giving them effects, but they're easy to please if it's a good story.
