Movie-making is telling a story with the best technology at your disposal.

I've been doing a pale imitation of Bill Murray for most of my career.

It's not a mid-life crisis. It's a mid-life disaster. A mid-life crisis is when you wake up with everything and you go "I have everything but I'm still unhappy."

I will entertain anything; it doesn't matter. You know, it's not obviously about the price, it's not about who, it's kind of about when and what. It's material, that's all.

That's what's nice about directing a film and having it done: There's nothing more I can do about it. It's done. That's it. All I can do is let it go and hope that people are kind to it.

All directors should have to act and all actors should have to direct, so that they can understand all these key things that come into play with whether you can meet your day.

When you try to bring a story to life, it starts in your head and you see possibilities for it, but it's just one damn thing after another.
