I'm very eclectic in terms of what I like, what I read, what I watch, my own consumer behavior.

The screenplay is a great document because it makes you have many discussions prior to actually being on the floor.

I'm not looking for artistic license with the script. I tend to arrive at a form with the script and feel that that should be for the time being what we aim for.

I went through a pretty serious illness early in my life and I made a movie about that.

I think it's never mono-causal why you fall in love with something that you want to do.

The movie doesn't do what you want it do. It just grows and then you have a movie at the end of it, hopefully.

Do you have any advice for your readers?Lead the life that’s yours instead of faking someone else’s.

Ultimately, the number of books always exceeds the space they are granted.

We read each other through our eyes, and anatomically they are an extension of our brains. When we catch someone's eye, we look into a mind.

I treat all my projects the same. They're all time capsules of where I am at the time and what I'm thinking about.

I consider myself to be flawed, but I made it work. I'm not perfect. Anybody who thinks they are is whacked-out.

I know that when I make a record like The Delivery Man as a contrast to even Il Sogno, this is going to reach a wider audience, because it communicates in that very direct way.

That's what I call 'Guiliani Time', my friends. 'We've got a problem. Let's kill it.'

I know President Obama and Secretary Clinton are committed to bringing America together. This needs to be a time of redemption, not a time of recrimination.

If we want to find God, we have to look within, into the realm of deep mind-a realm that science has yet to explore.

Apparently, despite my awareness of its pejorative connotation, procrastinating is something I fall victim to quite frequently. I'm not proud of it; I'm just being honest.
