I would have loved to do romantic comedies. That's what I think I would be best at.

Being married, I would say most relationships are pretty codependent in some ways.

I wanted Raging Bull. I wanted Casino. I got Rocky and Bullwinkle. But that's OK, because I still get to tell people I've worked with Robert DeNiro.

Do I get up some days and feel competitive? Sure. Do I get up some days and feel afraid? Of course. But...I have real moments of joy now, and I know it will continue.

I think all writers are different. I've been with a few writers; they're all different.

Maybe it's that I'm naive, but I don't think of myself as an age.

I envy my daughter's childhood.

I always go into a film situation depressed and fearful.

I don't know much about sports.

Every day, every birthday candle I blow out, every penny I throw over my shoulder in a wishing well, every time my daughter says, 'Let's make a wish on a star, ' there's one thing I wish for: wisdom.

If I had to design a career for myself, I would have done comedy.

To gain wisdom, you must not only acquire knowledge, but you must assimilate it within your being.

Never get discouraged because you got fired

Endless possibilities is hidden inside the fog of life.

The man of wisdom is never of two minds; the man of benevolence never worries; the man of courage is never afraid.

God is punishing America for the way they have persecuted us at Westboro Baptist Church, and worse and more of [the Virginia Tech massacre] is coming and this evil sodomite nation is doomed.

Emulation is a noble and just passion, full of appreciation.

With short stories, the story-teller must have a story to tell, not merely some sweet prose to take out for a walk

I think I feel the most comfortable being insane.
