I never got into 'MacGyver,' but 'All the President's Men' and 'The Conversation' were big for me.

Filmmaking is a thousand choices a day and it's important to just let those choices potentially be informed by something deeper.

I don't believe that narrative works when it's trying to teach a lesson or speak a factual truth.

I've always been anxious about 'Primer.' There's good things about it, but all I've seen for a long time is the flaws.

Pierrot le Fou is something I keep coming back to. Its so surreal but still really engaging - it proves narratives within narratives are a landscape that can be pursued well.

Probably the TV show I've watched the most is 'How It's Made' on the History Channel. I could watch 24 hours of 'How It's Made' and never get bored.

I have a really, really hard time sitting down and watching a TV show, except I'm apparently willing to watch the same episode of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,' like, seven times.

My favorite films are the ones that I walk away from and I know I saw a story.

I came to filmmaking because it's my passion. I decided I can't have it distorted or marred by someone else deciding what it should be.

When something is beautiful in math, everything is just perfectly lined up, and you see through sheer thought that something really beautiful can take place.

Many of my favorite films, if someone were to tell me simply what they're about, I probably wouldn't be that interested. Plot often has so little to do with what's at the heart of a film.

Hope for love, pray for love, wish for love, dream for love…but don’t put your life on hold waiting for love.

If the Bible is called the Good Book, it's not because its people are. Blood flows as freely through the stories as the ink through the quills that penned them.

Now the thing is no longer a vision: it is paper.

Of course I love being in love - but it is marriage that really fulfills me. But not in every case.

Well, I was sort of a jack-of-all-trades in show business for a long time. I was a singer and a dancer and then I got a job as an actor.

You just come along with me and have a good time. The Galaxy's a fun place. You'll need to have this fish in your ear.

I watched a bunch of kids movies on Christmas. I was kind of joking with our family by asking, "Is anyone allowed to die in a kid's movie anymore?"

Man shall find his anchorage in self-recognition.

I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise To fly.

Either a mother and daughter know each other very well or they are strangers.
