I probably have more female friends than any man I've ever met. What I like about them is that almost always they're generally mentally tougher, and they're better listeners, and they're more capable of surviving things.

I don't like things too overstated in the cut or too perfect.

I was a very good baseball and football player, but my father always told me I was much more interested in how I looked playing baseball or football than in actually playing. There's great truth in that.

Most filmmakers' entire body of knowledge is of other movies. When they describe things, they describe them in relation to other movies. That's why we have so many cyclical movies that look like other movies. But I'm not cynical. I even go to some of those movies.

I like to direct movies, but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about it.

Listen, I'm out of this system, man, I'm out... I'm doing better than ever. I couldn't be more happy.
