I figure if I have my health, can pay the rent and I have my friends, I call it 'content.'

Movies are great fun and wonderful when they're good. But you never get to see them till six months after they're finished. So you never get a sense of whether they're really well liked or how good they are. And you don't really know what the finished product is going to be like, because it's a director's medium.

I put my career in second place throughout both my marriages and it suffered. I don't regret it. You make choices. If you want a good marriage, you must pay attention to that. If you want to be independent, go ahead. You can't have it all.

Imagination is the highest kite one can fly.

We live in an age of mediocrity.

God - if the press ever quoted anyone correctly, it would be brilliant.
