A palindrome is a word or pattern that instead of developing in different directions it folds in on itself so that the beginning and end mirror each other, that they are the same.

I've always said that I myself am not the best audience for my own work, because I'm just not that receptive to comedy.

I always have to presume that each movie is my last movie because I never know if I'll get money again.

What makes me angry is the idea that people would be going to a movie because of what I said about it. It makes me feel, I don't know, arrogant, self-important, self-aggrandizing, whatever. Like I'm being used.

If I grew up in a different background, I could see myself getting a gun and shooting an abortionist. That's my job, to imagine what could happen, what can make people go in different directions.

I can't please everybody and I don't try to. If I can please myself that's enough. For the rest, I just hope for the best.

Casting is everything. If you get the right people they make you look good.
