I remember very clearly when I found my first soulmate, it was actually in my late 20s, that wonderful feeling of being accepted by people.

I don't have any advice at all. I think we all make the films that reflect the kind of people we are; we all make such different films. There's not just one way of doing it.

I don't make 'issue' films. I like making films about rebels or pioneers or people that are doing something.

The magic of documentary is that I keep being surprised and amazed by the things I film.

Personally, I don't like watching films about victims - people where you're meant to think, 'Oh, this is terrible,' and you go home feeling really depressed.

I know that sounds contradictory - you're going on a journey, but once you know who your characters are, you become more disciplined and you film less and less.

Give the respect you want to receive; embody the grace you hope to encounter; and help others with no expectations whatsoever.

Most art in the world does not have a capital 'A,' but is a way of turning everyday objects into personal expressions.

I realize that I'm pretty flawed, but you know - I haven't killed anybody yet.

Madness isn't altogether a bad thing in comedy.

You might also see that some of my playlists are simply two songs on repeat fifteen times, like I’m a psycho getting pumped up to murder the president.
