It's a match made in heaven...by a retarded angel.

I'm a teleological, existential agnostic.

You know, it's one thing about intellectuals, they prove that you can be absolutely brilliant and have no idea what's going on.

I can't enjoy anything unless everybody is. If one guy is starving someplace, that puts a crimp in my evening.

I don't like to meet the actor and have a lot of conferences and talk about their sub-life and their off-screen life and their back stories and all that nonsense, because it never means anything.

I don't like to reminisce much, and my walls don't have photographs of me and the actors I was with, or any of that stuff... I try and keep that disciplined, and just work. There are so many traps you can get into, and looking back on your own work is certainly one of them.

I'm trying to arrange my life so I don't have to be present.
