Nothing else counts except what you want.

I loved Batman, don't get me wrong, but that kind of mindless violence is not good for young children.

You should know the lines, be prepared, get sleep, and have the script analyzed so you're ready to rock and roll.

The roughest part is showing up. Once you throw yourself into the scene, it's just great fun to let it all go and not be self-conscious, and stop questioning whether you're sufficient.

There are statistics out that say 20 year olds, 18 years olds think about sex 90 percent of the time. They only don't think about sex when they're eating, and that's rare.

I feel very secure about the role of the actor in the future. They need us, because stories are about people.

I'm drawn to a lot of first-time directors. One of the great common denominators in these small independent films is that there's a person, or two people, who have an absolutely monomaniacal passion to get these films made. That's what makes them happen. Sometimes, it takes years and years to finally get it done, but by never backing down, by never giving up, they get these films to the screen by hook or by crook.
