I've been obsessed with making movies since I was 15. I watched a lot of movies when I was young, and I decided that I wanted to do that because I was a passionate kid about watching movies.

I always try to be different. I always want to surprise myself.

I don't like to be on a set and wait three hours, just to make some lighting adjustments. I like to shoot. That's what I want to do. I'd rather shoot something dumb than wait.

I'm just trying to find some secret places in the human brain because I think movies tend to be too rational sometimes. Everything is supposed to make sense. Everything is supposed to be logical.

To me, the movie is more funny if, at the same time, you can think a little bit or dream a little bit.

It [moviemaking] is like a dream. When you're dreaming, you make some very strange connections between some random stuff and random people.

If you lost the love of your life, that's a nightmare.

I'm a small filmmaker, making my small, low-budget movies, but I'm super lucky to know that everybody reacts differently to my movies. That's interesting.

Yeah, the main goal when I'm writing [movie scripts] is to entertain myself. It's supposed to be funny, but then a funny idea can be turned into something else.

In a general sense, I admit to valuing the worldviews of men under the age of 40 and women over the age of 30.

How do you circumvent a mind bent upon lying to get away from the truth?

What was the freedom to which the adult human being rose in the morning, if each act was held back or inspired by the overpowering ghost of a little child?

People say it's easy to make fun of retarded people, but it's not. You really have to explain it to them.

I hate religion. I think it's a neurological disorder.

Golf is a bloodless sport-if you don't count ulcers.

I will not say that women have no character; rather, they have a new one every day.

She attracted him more than he liked.

As bad as it might be to destroy a creature made in God's image, it might be very much worse to be creating them after images of one's own.

Ah! the spendthrift, love: it gives all and everything with the first sigh!
