I like going out to popcorn-munchers.

I was completely broke, so I started saying yes to everything. I said yes to a woman who approached me about shooting the Dracula ballet, even though I felt like I was probably going to sabotage it.

I'm starting to frighten myself, because I'm backsliding into my devil-may-care attitude. I'm sure it's going to catch up with me.

I've never made movies to reach millions of people.

I literally designed and built the sets myself, and I kind of liked it. I always gave myself eight weeks to do that - sometimes even 10 - and the shooting took five or six weeks.

I've been so lazy all my life. I used to literally lie on the couch, up until the age of 35, fearing that my bones were dissolving like sugar cubes, from disuse.

If I want to keep making films for a few more years, I probably should be willing to adapt. I've sort of evolved into the filmmaker that I am because of natural selection anyway.

You can shut down a service, and yet people will find ways to communicate.

I am exceedingly distressed at the proceedings of the Convention-being ... almost sure, they will ... lay the foundation of a Civil War.

I always wanted to have my own farm. I've never been able to achieve that. It's kinda tough.

The blessing which we associate with a life of refinement and cultivation can be made universal and must be made universal if they are to be permanent.

If you can't turn yourself into your customer, you probably shouldn't be in the ad writing bsuiness at all.

You continue to evolve with each album that goes by and, as an artist, you continue to expand with every recording project.
