News is something that happens that matters to you, which is not most of what we watch on television.

If you look up the definition of news in the dictionary, it isn't what you watch on TV.

That's the joy of art - it should be dangerous and challenging but it's just art - it's safe.

I don't believe in death. I think it's just a state of mind.

It`s probably fair to say I have taken myself too seriously on some jobs. I`m sure I`m more guilty of being difficult than I`d like to remember. I don`t regret my desires; I`ve regretted the way I would communicate my desires. Maybe I`ve lost a job because of some rumor, I doubt it. But nobody good that I`ve worked with has ever said anything negative about me, because we`ve never had a negative experience. By good, I mean directors who do their homework, people that are passionate, crazy, never sleep, and do like I do and just go after it.
