I grew up watching a lot of Italian and French movies, so I want to have that '70s look, in my dream movie. I want that thing that's not so much happening now, that's existentialist.

You really want to make sure that you have fun, at the end of the day. If its not fun, whats the point.

I do tend to like movies that challenge me, professionally. That's mostly on a smaller scale, when you have one or two or five actors, and it's all about the acting and not the camera.

TV is the place that writers want to be.

There are so many directors that I want to work with, but I can't tell you that there's one role. If I knew it, I would write it for myself.

Even if the dramatic scenes are really hard, if you're happy with what you have and it's been creative and you had a good time with the people you worked with, that's a good day.

Even in the big movies, if the scenes are very big, I'm not fond of them as much as I'm fond of small actor scenes.

Tomorrow always comes with a new hope for a new beginning. After all, it is a new day!

If you keep doing things that don't matter to you, you will not have time to do things that really do.

Humor comes from the surprise release of some buried tension.

Confidence comes from hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication.

Earth knows no desolation. She smells regeneration in the moist breath of decay.

Give me civilization. I don't want to be pampered.

In truth, the care and expense of our fathers aims only at furnishing our heads with knowledge; of judgement and virtue, little news.

Half of bravery is perspective.

I shot this wonderful picture called American Saint a couple of years ago, which is still looking for release.
