There's no point in making a movie just to be making a movie.

The turning point really is just knowing you're an imbecile.

I'm not sure two movie stars can run - not even here.

There's no point in dwelling on rejection.

It's no secret that I am a liberal Democrat, ... I have some very strong feelings, the most important of which at the moment is campaign finance reform because its tentacles reach into every other issue. I fear we're getting closer to a plutocracy than we want to, and I believe that deep down the people want to do something about that.

When we were making the movie, winning awards for it wasn't the point at all. We didn't even have an American distributor.
