I'm someone who's always looked forward to marriage. My parents being together for so long made marriage that much more important.

My family moved - first to Washington, D.C., and then, in the spring of 1975, to Lebanon, where my father worked as a diplomat at the American embassy. My parents were enthusiastic about the move, so my older brother and I felt like we were off to some place kind of cool.

Part of filmmaking is always a guessing game, and part of it is always a game of trust.

Good scripts and interesting stories are hard enough to find.

I've never had a clear road map. When things come along, I benefit.

I find fear is a great motivator to work hard.
