I never really got nightmares from movies. In fact, I recall my father saying when I was three years old that I would be scared, but I never was.

My parents suffered from that ideal of a perfect nuclear family. They found that a difficult pressure, I think.

People told me I couldn't kill Nicholson, so I cast him in two roles and killed him off twice.

A lot of things you see as a child remain with you you spend a lot of your life trying to recapture the experience.

Good morning starshine the earth says hello.

Things you grew up watching, they just stay with you. They form what you like to do.

I remember being forced to go to Sunday school for a number of years, even though my parents were not religious. No one was really religious; it was just the framework. There was no passion for it. No passion for anything. Just a quiet, kind of floaty, kind of semi-oppressive, blank palette that youre living in.
