My mother never had time for me. When you're the middle child in a family of five million, you don't get any attention.

I've never dated a fictional character before. The closest I ever came was an Italian.

The heart is a very, very resilient little muscle. It really is.

My heart says one thing. My head says another. Very hard to get your heart and head together in life.

I'd like to make a great movie. I've made many movies. I think I've made some good movies, but I never felt I've made a great movie.

I work all the time because it's a great distraction and it keeps me from sitting home and obsessing morbidly.

My films are therapy for my debilitating depression. In institutions people weave baskets. I make films.
