I've said many, many, many unkind things about Philadelphia, and I meant every one.

I always say Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is my biggest influence. But for painters, I like many, many painters, but I love Francis Bacon the most, and Edward Hopper.

To me, a story can be both concrete and abstract, or a concrete story can hold abstractions. And abstractions are things that really can't be said so well with words.

I do not like to be unkind.

Every viewer is going to get a different thing. That's the thing about painting, photography, cinema.

I meant what I said and I said what I meant.
