I love making movies, I love the differentness of it, I love writing. But I've always liked television. I grew up on television.

The Spirit Awards are great too, they'll say anything because they're not televised. Another great drinking night.

I think I've been in situations where they looked at me and just see some rich white guy - they don't see me at all.

Perhaps there is such a thing as obscene sex, but I know that violence is always obscene. So I don't get it, that you can disembowel a woman but you can't see her tits. Who made that up? That's sick!

You'd much rather act with a pal, someone you know really well. That way, you can cut all the niceties and go right to insulting each other.

I got an agent. He said, what do you wanna do, and I said, I want an Oscar nomination. That's your job, that's what I'm paying you for. And I got it.

I've discovered that I can't trust the ratings board at all, because they have - to my mind - a perverted point of view about what's appropriate for children. They think that if you see any part of a male or female anatomy, we have to protect children from it, which is not true, and they think almost any level of violence is okay for children, which is absolutely not true... They're really off the mark.
