I'm Not Good At Compromise.

You’re Never Going To Be The Same Person You Are Right Now.

I Can't Think Of Anything Outside Of Having The Gift Yourself And Creating Yourself. I Can't Think Of The Next Better Thing To Do Than Being Able To Put It Back. Creative Expression, I Think, Is Vital To The Success Of Any Society.... A Society Without Art Will Die.

I Believe In Mythology. I Guess I Share Joseph Campbell's Notion That A Culture Or Society Without Mythology Would Die, And We're Close To That.

All Of The Films That I've Made Are About The Country I Live In And Grew Up In... And I Think If You're Going To Put An Artist's Eye To It, You're Going To Put A Critical Eye To It. I've Always Been Interested In The Gray Area That Exists Between The Black And White, Or The Red And Blue, And That's Where Complexity Lies.

As A Director, I Wouldn't Like Me As An Actor. As An Actor, I Wouldn't Like Me As A Director.
