What' s the matter with me? Why can't I be cool?

As an artist, you are always striving toward an ultimate achievement but never seem to reach it. You shoot a film, and the result could have always been better. You try again, and fail once more. In some ways I find it enjoyable. You never lose sight of your goal. I don’t do my job to make money or to break box office records, I simply try things out. What would happen if I were to achieve perfection at some point? What would I do then?

I usually want to crawl into the ground after I make a film, almost invariably.

I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam; I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me.

Every time you make a movie it's a new and different experience. You learn very little from the past. So, I'm a little bit better than I was when I first started.

I don't like theatrical actors and actresses. I like people that talk like real human beings.

Raised by two mothers...wow, most of us barely survive one
