I have great expectations for the future, because the past was highly overrated.

I was an ambitious child and I tended to be scatterbrained. If I was at school and saw a bird outside the window I wanted to follow it. I was adventurous.

The only happy artist is a dead artist, because only then you can't change. After I die, I'll probably come back as a paintbrush.

I really have very little aspirations about acting because I think that probably the best things have come and gone. I would like to focus on writing and directing. I love writing and directing even though writing can be incredibly painful and lonely. I get great satisfaction from doing it.

There's a natural law of karma that vindictive people, who go out of their way to hurt others, will end up broke and alone.

I think there's something about being a neophyte that's refreshing and hard to duplicate; it brings about real innovation. Innovation usually comes about through blind ignorance.

I don't fall into the physical manifestation of a man of letters. So I guess people assume the scripts are delivered to me under the door.
