I love living in Michigan, which has been great for my kids and my family.

Are we just pretending to be unhappy so that we can add drama to our lives, so that we seem more substantial?

Television in the last few years has been where all the great writers are going. TV now is what indie film used to be.

Nothing seems to matter but ourselves. That's not how I was brought up. I don't recognize the country I live in anymore.

I think we have the attention span of a gnat. You know, with cell phones and Twitter.

We're all capable of anything as human beings. Any emotion, any action. We really are.

Working with Jim Carrey is an absolute gas. I have never laughed so hard for so long. Had he been on-board for the sequel of Dumb & Dumber, I would've jumped on, with no hesitation.

Comedy is hard to do. All the cliches about it are true.

I was haunted by trainers going "Up, up, up, get up." You find yourself picking your head up and then realizing, They aren't talking to me.

I think Michigan keeps you sane and on an even keel through the ups and downs. In Michigan, I do fireworks, shovel snow and live life.

You can't rewrite nothing, but you can rewrite 90 pages of sh*t. Now you've got your sh*t on the page, you can go work.

Ian was too Captain America for my taste.

We travel not just to see the beauty of new places but to see our own beauty in a new environment.

Why should our nastiness be the baggage of an apish past and our kindness uniquely human? Why should we not seek continuity with other animals for our 'noble' traits as well?

For us, the greatness of this universe is to give us every means by which we may build our dreams!

The past and present are only our means the future is always our end. Thus we never really live but only hope to live.

If you let them kill you, they will

Nothing seems to me more doubtful than Aristotle's remark that it is probable the arts and philosophy have several times been discovered and several times lost.

You don't go through life, you grow through life

A lot of young directors, they're not confident; they're not open to the emotional level of the scene.

I love clothes that when you put them on, you feel like you. I don't care whether anyone else likes them.
