I've always sworn that not having enough money has saved me from mediocrity.

I think it's worse for actors, though, because people have to choose you. As a director, I get to choose the actors, but most of the time, actors have to be chosen in order to work.

I was doing political cartoons and getting angry to the point where I felt I was going to have to start making and throwing bombs. I thought I was probably a better cartoonist than a bomb maker.

Because I dislike being quoted I lie almost constantly when talking about my work.

My strength, if it's anything, is that I can lure some big-name actors in. That's probably the strength of almost any director now. On your own, as a director, you've only got so much weight. James Cameron, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Michael Bay... that's about it. Everybody else depends on the star power that they can draw.

Actually, I began to think that maybe there is a god, after all. Or maybe its a different one. The old one got fired.

I have always got medicine I want to give to people.
