I was trying to see if I could produce an episode - completely write it and research it and record it and edit it - all by myself in a week.

Within a scantily plotted, novella-style narrative (the movie is an adaptation of a short story by Tom Bissell), single shots become story events that mere mention would spoil.

If you look at pictures of David O. Selznick , he wasn't even attractive. There's no way to portray him in a way that is glamorous, but that's one of the things that's fascinating to me about him.

As a performer, I could be like, "I don't want to leave that in there." But as a producer, I have to leave it in there.

I really feel like I could do anything if given enough time.

I just think the David O. Selznick story is one of the great, epic stories of Hollywood history that nobody knows. Maybe one of the reasons why nobody knows it is because he wasn't a movie star.

In terms of the way the industry operates, the studio system was such its own thing. It's so different now that it's a globalized world.

Hollywood is really weird to talk about in this monolithic sense because it's this microcosm of anywhere. It's full of a lot of people who have different intentions and different points of view.

The thing that breaks my heart about [Dennis Wilson] is that he was very naïve from the beginning to the end.

I don't really like coffee, she said, but I don't really like it when my head hits my desk when I fall asleep either.

Gnani (The Enlightened one) means without Ego.

You mean to tell me you're mourning the loss of someone who never existed?

In the course of a marriage, one accommodates the other.

Addiction struggle is believing you are separate from love. It took me a long time to glimpse that.

Every story we remember is a novel. Novels make things more universal.

Twitter and Facebook and all of this stuff is, to me, I mean it's, for some reason - I'm probably not the youngest person using it. But for some reason, it works very well. I'm setting records.

My whole mantra is, "Go big or go home." I don't want to just play a guy who dresses up. I want to play the person who threw down.

When I swing at a golf ball right, my mind is blank and my body is loose as a goose.

Being different and thinking different makes a person unforgettable. History does not remember the forgettable. It honors the unique minority the majority cannot forget
