It Sounds Cliche, But Success Is Your

I Want My Audience To Say, "wow, This Is A Film I'm Benefiting From. I'm Benefiting From What This Filmmaker Is Trying To Say." I'd Always Rather Learn And Be Entertained Than Be Entertained And Feel Myself Getting Dumber By The Moment.

I Think Van Sant Is The Most Important American Director We Have. He Takes The Most Risks. He's Just Pure To Me.

I Think It's Very Dangerous For An Actor To Take [shooting] Too Seriously Because I Think It Could Really Damage You If You Do That.

All These Directors Who Do Different Locations Forget That One Room Can Be Shot From A Million Different Angles And A Million Different Ways. When I Direct A Movie, I'm Going To Use That.

I'm Not Really Equipped To Do Anything Else But Making Movies. In Every Other Aspect Of My Life I'm A Total Failure.
