I've been escaping my whole life. Since I was a little child, I escaped into the movies on the other side as an audience member. I escaped by going into the movies and sitting in the movies all day long.

I don't have to 'freedom-kiss' my wife when what I really want to do is French-kiss her.

Why ruin a good story with the truth?

Yes, but the difference is that when you're dead and somebody yells, 'Everybody up, it's morning,' it's very hard to find your slippers.

Not think of death as an end, but think of it more as a very effective way of cutting down on your expenses.

We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives.

I don't why whatever works and whatever doesn't. You just make the film that you enjoy making at the time, and you think there's a good chance that people might enjoy the story. You're surprised pleasantly when they do. It's just luck.
