When I'm able to bring together the two worlds that I love so much - film and TV - is a documentary feature, it's nirvana!

Growing up in Los Angeles, I was incredibly fortunate to be taken to theatre by my parents to see everything at the Music Center, at UCLA and beyond. I just adored it.

Theatre is filled w/ passion, risk and drama (as much behind-the-curtain as on stage), perfect ingredients for documentary storytelling.

I have an incredible team of collaborators that work with me on all my films. I adore them and respect them tremendously. I can't wait to begin production on my next film so we can be reunited.

Like theatre, crafting a documentary film takes tremendous commitment, patience and passion.

Hypocrite shouts about the change, but never let risk coming on his way.

It is only fools who keep straining at high C all their lives.

The perception of the beautiful is gradual, and not a lightning revelation; it requires not only time, but some study.

Genius is that which forces the inertia of humanity to learn.

But there is no doubt that my own views on this are, in quite a number of ways, very different from those of Quine.

Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do With your one wild and precious life?

Any actor worth his salt has a responsibility to reinvent himself from part to part.

When the people you've already worked with are very talented and you know what they can do, if you think of a character that happens to be perfect for them, then you make it happen.

I called the hotel operator and she said, "How can I direct your call?" I said, "Well, you could say 'Action!', and I'll begin to dial. And when I say 'Goodbye', then you can yell 'Cut!'"

It was fantastic for me to see the cheering and clapping and it showed maybe not all of them want me out of a job!
