When I grow up, I still want to be a director.

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.

People can relate to horses. Horses, I think, are basically in our genetic history. Horses were part of our culture, part of our collective society, for hundreds of years, and so, the horse is one of the most familiar animals to people of any race or culture or country.

I'll probably never win an Oscar, but I'll sure have a lot of fun! I really believe that movies are the great escape.

I simply adore 'The Simpsons.' I go to bed in a 'Simpsons' T-shirt.
