Hyperbole is something Id better avoid.

I got tired of my taxes paying for exciting little wars around the world. Then I discovered that when I died, my wife would probably have to sell our house to pay for the taxes in America.

There's something about living in the country that I think makes you inventive, because nature is full of miracles and wonder and surprises, and if you don't have much money, you have to make things if you want things.

I wasn't creative or theatrical. I was just doing everything. I was head cheerleader, valedictorian - it was ridiculous!

Once the voices are in your head, it's either make a movie or kill a lot of people.

My problem is I'm like a junkie. I want a good movie fix, and I never get that fix.

Invariably, what I'm trying to do is more ambitious than the budget, but we manage to do it somehow.
