I'm a lapsed Buddhist like I'm a lapsed Catholic. I take it to a point.

I was raised a Catholic and when you're raised a Catholic they don't teach you to think for yourself. You're taught not to think too deeply about things.

That's the thing about making a movie: You never finish editing. They just take it away from you.

I don't know what DVD commentaries are about. I'd like to strangle the person who came up with that concept.

But I'm never gonna get to a point in my life where what it costs to shoot a movie is going to determine what it is. The limits of my imagination is the only thing that's gonna stop me.

The secret is not to make a film that causes something like Virginia Tech to happen. The secret is to make a film that stops it happening.
