My father always read obituaries to me out loud, not because he was maudlin or morbid, but because they were mini biographies.

When you start out as a filmmaker, you do parodies, because you can't really compete on a studio level.

On the Internet, on IMDB, they've got that my middle name as Archibald. I don't have a middle name! My father doesn't like middle names.

Since I was a small boy, I was always around the game. I don't play golf much myself, but I love watching it. My father has played golf all his life.

I've had a life where things have worked out for me beyond my wildest dreams, and my brother's had just the opposite.

I came out to Hollywood when I was just 18, and my dad, he was really into Hollywood and theater and art, and I guess growing up, he exposed me to a lot of culture, and I just started making Super-8 films in high school and decided I wanted to be a filmmaker.
